An oldie but a not-so-goodie, due to Wear's liberal slant.

Odd number for an interstate, given that most of them end in a zero or a five. The story behind that number, which I’ll get to shortly, is even odder.

Hmm, near me I have I-94, I-96, and I-69. Oh yeah, I also have I-75. so one out of four Interstate highways in Michigan end in a zero or a five.

I don't know where the author got that "most of them end in a zero or a five" crap. Most of the Interstates do NOT end in a zero or a five. The general rule is odd numbers run North and South, even numbers run East and West. Three digit roads with an odd first digit are spurs, and even first digit is a bypass.

I-14? Must be a favorite road for Mexican anchor babies.

I may have missed something, but a quick count showed 17 two digit Interstates ending in 5 or 0, and either 58 or 55 that don’t. The issue with those that don’t are that there are 5 cases where a number is used twice, with no prospect of connection - I-76, I-84, I-86, I-87, and I-88

Most interesting to me is the fact that there is no I-50 or I-60 shown on the list I was reviewing.

The 14th Amendment unnaturalized the country. Congress only citizenship and immigration power was keeping US citizenship the same natural kind.

I-10 pretty much crosses Texas from west to east.

But I guess that amendment doesn’t matter.
