Well, you didn't seem to know about how how things worked.


I think there's a difference in highways; as in "intrastate" and
"interstate." I believe it's intrastate if it stays inside the boundary of
a state and "interstate" if it goes outside the boundary of a state.

That's nice, Kim. I don't know of anything called the "Intrastate
Highway System". If it has a red, white and blue sign with I-something,
I can assure you that it isn't part of the "Intrastate".

Before the Interstates were built,
long distance driving was a real PITA.

So I've been told.

That the
Dept of Defense partially funded the Interstates so
they would be able to get convoys of troops and stuff
to somewhere. Intersections with local roads were
designed so if a bridge was bombed, traffic could
still get thru (go on the off ramp and then across
the local road and back on on the on ramp).

Whole bunch of factors involved, like the Autobahns in Germany
and the success of toll roads like the Pennsylvania Turnpike.

Eisenhower was a big proponent of the interstate highway system.

There was also the concerted effort of the automakers, oil and
rubber companies, and even the concrete industry to get more
Americans to own and drive cars and trucks. They went so far
as to intentionally buy up and destroy transit systems (such
as the Pacific Electric in the Los Angeles area) so that
people would drive cars.

Railroads worked well in WWII, but our mainland
for the most part wasn't bombed. Take out a railroad
bridge and things get bottled up for a while.

Bombing bridges, particularly narrow ones like most RR spans,
is singularly difficult without special weapons. Highway bridges
are at least as vulnerable as RR bridges to such attacks.

Our here we have US-666 coming up across the reservation out of
Gallup and
heading out into Utah somewhere. Deadly stretch south of the NM
border and
indeed probably is the "highway to hell" for many of its intoxicated
user-victims.

M.A.N.

I always enjoy driving on State Hwy 73.

Y'know, Dave, you're one sorry-assed *******. I post something to be just
making an observation and you, oh...well, never mind. I've never seen you
post anything unless it involves being a smartass. Take a look at the other
posts...such as the one from Robert Casey. But then, it'd probably bore
you, since he's being informative and conducting a nice excahnge in
communication.

I'll bet you say that to all the fellows. Don't think your sweet

You're on your own now. I mentioned that our Oahu hospitals had amateur
stations manned by licensed hospital staff. But because of your inability
to use a search engine you doubted those stations existed. I verified
the fact by providing a site for you, which you apparently devoured:

You might remind the state government to update their web pages

....but instead of saying "Thanks, Jeff; you were correct and I was
wrong again," you hide your error by resorting to sarcasm:

[if you also "lecture" in English, somebody rated you wrong]

Always the same thing -- you're proved wrong but instead of admitting
your error you play the attack again.

One wonders how many times you've been divorced; I can't imagine that
any woman would remain with you for long.

Kim, he's not like that on the air. Maybe Dave should go back to

Depends on which "Intrastate" Highway you're speaking of, "Dave":

http://www.co.palm-beach.fl.us/mpo/p...eds%20plan.pdf
will get you some information on the Florida Intrastate Highway system;

http://www.rtpnet.org/ncatr/htf_summary.html mentions something for North
Carolina;

If you'll take a look at fourth bullet on
http://www.goodtimber.net/directions.html, they actually WARN of not getting
confused between the INTRAstate and the INTERstate;

In the second paragraph of SB 1166 on
http://www.calcog.org/_private/SB%201166.htm, the last line mentions their
INTERstate and INTRAstate highway system;

I am sure there's more to the search at
http://www.altavista.com/web/results...te&kgs=1&kls=0, but
I don't have time to satisfy your curiosity.

No, I don't tell all the fellas they're sorry-assed *******s. Only the
sorry-assed *******s. So far, you are in a minority of...let me count...oh,
yeah, ONE.

Well, he'd need to learn the difference between an interstate and an
intrastate first...

I know. You don't even have enough time to read the posts. Allow me to
reinsert a statement I made to you the other day:

"If it has a red, white and blue sign with I-something,
I can assure you that it isn't part of the 'Intrastate'."

Intrastate highways weren't under discussion (except by you).

No, I don't tell all the fellas they're sorry-assed *******s. Only the
sorry-assed *******s. So far, you are in a minority of...let me count...oh,

Oh, I've read the nice things you've said to various folks here over the
years. W4NTI and Larry Roll have been on your hit parade for ages. You
don't have to play like I'm someone special.

By the way, aren't you, Alec Baldwin and Clint Eastwood all supposed to
be gone?
