In article , (Jeffrey Herman) writes: 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? :-) Well, you didn't seem to know about how how things worked. 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. The point was about a part of the Interstate highway system which never leaves a particular state. 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. You don't want to get one; you want to give one. 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. Do you have any information to the contrary, Leonard, or are you just blowing smoke? I've only been USING technical books since 1960 and my first job assignment as an electronics engineer responsible for new design. To quote you, "Why must you always live in the past"? 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. So because you have a shelf full of books and since you've written for money, Jeffrey's claim can't possibly be true. Does that sum it up? I am happy to hear that you have a personal bookshelf though. Dave K8MN |
