I've been nowhere near WA state and therefore have yet to set foot (or wheel) on Interstate 82. Yet I paid for it. Wonder why I haven't have sleepless nights over this?

I went to the barber today and told her to cut my hair all off. I look like a biker/prison camp inmate. Feel my head.

You are bored. Reaaallllyyy bored.

Moose, sister, cheese, etc (just to get it out of the way from the outset).

I hope you don't take this the wrong way, but we all pay for a lot of things we do not use. But before I explain why your post is someone inane, I must explain something that seems to have escaped you.

Congress authorized a system of highways during the Eisenhower administration to interconnect military bases. What you think are interstate highways are, in fact, teh National Defense Highway System. The purposed of that system was to move men and materiel rapidly around the country should the United States homeland be attacked. (One of the lessons learned from the technological developements of World War II was that those technologies, particularly aviation technologies and missile technologies would require rapid mobilization and deployments.)

I doubt you would make this statement: "Aircraft carriers. You paid for them. How many have you been on?"

Yes, it's true we paid for the 12 active aircraft carriers. But that does not mean we can simply paddle up to one and expect a tour by an admiral.

Somehow, some way, its because of global warming.

Ah, you kids and your "interstate highways"!

Route 60- now that was a highway! And you could drive farm vehicles on it too, in fact I believe most people in front of me did!

[mhking]

Which ones have you been on?

The ones that would take me where I wanted to go.

Just damn.

If you want on the new list, FReepmail me. This IS a high-volume PING list...

I paid for the Internet, but now I'm having misgivings.

Don't lose any sleep over paying for highways that you haven't drove on. It looks like you've got them all covered.

[rs79bm]

Here are the ones I've been on, based on memory, broken down by state

You're kidding, right?

[Hank Rearden]

I've got a neighbor just like you. He does regression analysis on local rainfall data and has carried on a correspondence with the US Treasury (I've seen the file!) on the continued desirability of minting pennies.

Both of ya need more to do in life.

Poorman, a truck driver, has been on every Interstate highway in the continental USA.

I rode with him for a year and saw most of those I-highways.

Hawaii has interstates. H-1, H-2, H-3. Don't ask why.
