It's paid for with federal funds, thus it's part of the federal interstate
highway system. It's no different from Interstate 405 in California: It
begins in LA and ends in San Diego -- it never leaves the state yet it's
yet it's still an "interstate."

Ooooo...going to lecture me about my local geography? :-)

Try Interstate FIVE as an illustration...begins at the Canadian border
goes all the way south through Washington, Oregon, California, ends
at the Mexican border. Over a kilomile long, takes two days to drive
at lawful speeds. Been there, done that, many times.

Gee, if I wanted a LECTURE on highways, I'd go to the AAA website
of my local auto club office...they give out free maps to us members.


The semester begin tomorrow -- I'll be teaching a calculus class at the
university campus (which is not a "junior college"), 8:30-9:20 MWF,
Keller Hall room 403. The class is full but I'll let you register,
if you think you can handle the class.

Oh, wow.... (a big Ben Stein "wowwww....")

So awfully nice of you, Mr. Petty Chief Ossifer. I'll just go on down to
the nearest ATM, withdraw a few thousand, cross the I-5 over to
Bob Hope Airport and fly over to the Islands...JUST...for the "pleasure"
of hearing you "lecture" on The Calculus! Oh frabjous joy...


Go back and read my complete post, paying attention to the phrase
"...technical best seller."

Go for it! "TECHNICAL" best seller! What year? And who was the
compiler of that gem of information? [was it a bookstore in Newington?]
You might try the ABA or some other book industry associations first
to verify some nonsense claim. Or take off your blinders. Whichever
is easiest.

I've only been USING technical books since 1960 and my first job
assignment as an electronics engineer responsible for new design.
The Green Bible, the Blue Bible, Millman & Taub, Henney, Petersen
and Weldon, Floyd Gardner, lots of names which are very familiar
in my small 30+ foot total length personal bookshelf right above the
immediate computer desk here. Since I already write for money
and know several authors (who work at that full time) plus book
store owners-managers, I have some acquaintenceship with the
professional book associations. Now, if you wish to LECTURE me
on "best sellers" of anything, I will invite you to pass gas on a
shuttle flight ("go take a flying fart") between islands.

===

I think you ought to get back to verifying the claim that the Islands
have ham stations at every police and fire station...or whatever you
wrote. [if you also "lecture" in English, somebody rated you wrong]

You might remind the state government to update their web pages
to show those gems of information...or is that "sensitive" info
for certain people's eyes only? :-)

Riiiight...I can just see a Billion-dollar tourist industry "relying" on ham
radio in Times of Troubles to keep their many lines of communications
going during all those natural disasters that beset the Islands all the
time. Riiiight...and there's no military on the Islands other than the
USCG...not even the USARPAC with their Army callsign ADA. :-)


Accusing me of lying? Are you sure you want to commit libel?

Accuse a MATHEMATICS LECTURER of lying? Heavens no!

Let's just say you don' know no bettah, blalah. :-)

I wouldn't do such terrible things to a kind soul who got a Rhode
Island ham his own "FCC mailing address" in Hawaii.

By the way, how is Mike Deignan? Still busy with all those "ham
clubs" he had callsigns for?

Don't take any wooden pineapples...

You should hope Jeffie has a computer course you can take to
learn to download postings.

Most kindest regards, Cancer Man

Well Hawaii did get hit by a big hurricane about 10 years ago.
Some of the smaller islands took it the hardest, and hams
on 2 meters were the only surviving communications for a
short while. Between islands. Doesn't happen every day though....

My offer above of providing you a free online calculus course
was made this morning, 13 January. You're caught again in another
cover up.

This one will go down in the RRAP history books: Len answering a 1/13
post on 1/11.

I've set the expiration date of this article for 2007 so that folks
can enjoy seeing Len humiliated for a couple of years.

Now Jeff! You KNOW that Lennie gives us PLENTY of stuff with which
to humiliate him over!

We are still having a pretty good giggle over his NG faux pas over
license expirations and the subsequent attempts to wriggle out from
under it. Wudda been a lot easier (and would have garnered some
respect) to just say "Ooopsss....I was wrong."

But...You know how it is for pathological liars...gotta lie for
lying's sake!

Reminds me of the time a RRAPper said that "MARS IS Amateur
Radio."

Am I wrong?
