What the hell are you babbling about? You're Gas (or gazolines, as you call it), is more expensive than ours!!! So what's you're point? You're showing more ignorance with every post you make. |

I just looked that up, and that's almost unbelieveable (since there are highways and towns to pass through to give one an indication they are going the wrong way). I pressume they got lost trying to find their way back? Yeah, we thought it was pretty unbelievable too... No, when you leave downtown Madison you take a city street down to the freeway ("Beltline") and either turn east towards Milwaukee or west towards Iowa. East/West is very well marked, though I don't recall if it's also marked with which city is in which direction. (it was probably different in the 1970s) Once they made their wrong turn, they just kept on going..... The way I see it, if I didn't see things I'd seen on the way down, I'd figure I was going the wrong way. But I'm no brainiac on the road, At the time, the road west of Madison was a LOT worse (narrower, hillier, went through more towns) than it is today. Even today, it's a VERY different road from the one east of town. Yes, you'd sure think someone would have noticed the difference! I've gotten lost on poorly marked roads that were not on my map (or I didn't know which regional road I was on, which I was crossing, and there were no landmarkers.) I always figure if I stay on the road I'm lost on, I can't get more lost, I can just waste time and turn around and go back the way I came. If I keep making turns, I can get more lost. I think that's a good philosophy. Last time I was lost, it was in central Nova Scotia. Got off on some unnumbered roads trying to get from Truro to the south shore - and found myself back on the *north* shore instead. Just turned around and sure enough, in about an hour I was where I wanted to be. I'd imagine the two locals who saw me during my 2 hours in the woods wondered what someone from Tennessee was doing wandering their dirt roads... (but it was well worth the effort, the NS south shore is stunningly beautiful) The most lost I've been is 30 miles outside of where I live. I tend to be less brave while travelling and not wander off onto unmarked roads trying to find stuff without the appropriate map. I tend to get lost when maps prove inaccurate or vague. Managed twice to get - well, not *lost*, but off the intended path & without a full plan to get back - when onramps marked on maps of NYC turned out to not exist. But I saw interesting neighborhoods both times so again, it was worth it. -- Doug Smith W9WI Pleasant View (Nashville), TN EM66 http://www.w9wi.com |

... I wonder how the roads are in New Orleans. Were the roads badly damage by hurrican Katrina? The roads were not nearly as damaged as you are. I've been told that the damage that did occur was directly the result of Edmonton.

SF is pretty, but the handicrafts (and restaurants) will be more expensive there than in Albuquerque's Old Town. But, don't you get what you pay for? I'm willing to pay a little more for better quality. KM The thing is, as long as you buy genuine Indian made jewelry (the stuff sold in NM and AZ anyway, where the fake stuff is not allowed to be marketed as Indian Made) you will probably be getting the same product from the same craftspeople in Abq., SF, or Taos (and in AZ shops as well). SF shops (and to a lesser degree, Taos shops) have to charge more than Abq., because land and shop rents are more expensive there than in Abq. Shops that have particularly high quality goods but aren't in Old Town include Bien Mur at I-25 and Tramway, Maisel's on Central Ave. Downtown, and Gertrude Zachary on Lomas a short way east of Old Town. The Santo Domingo Trading Post in Old Town sells a lot of "old pawn" jewelry with a lot of age and character. Some SF restaurants are very nice indeed, but there are also good places to eat in Abq. and Taos, and in some small towns you've never heard of like Chimayo and Espanola. It helps to know a local to scout the good stuff out of course. Well, if I'm to choose an eatery or a place to shop, I'll pick Santa Fe and Taos any day over Albuquerque, if only for the ambience! :-) Visiting big cities just doesn't cut it compared to the alternative!

I'm not your lackey and suggest you do your own homework. Got Google? KM You're the one making the assertion. You clearly have no proof. This is the Usenet, I'm not interested in "proof".

... Steve wrote: You're right about the Prelude's speeds - he's wondering whether you went that fast, and while I've seen racers do about 110 on I-91 in Connecticut, 140 sounds above any speed I've ever witnessed on any highway, so I'm also skeptical. Anyway, Toronto does NOT get "much warmer" in the summer than it does in Hawaii. A few days may have highs into the 90's, but Hawaii is consistently warmer (and more humid, to boot). You're right. When he posted about having been to Toronto twice, arriving once in winter when the temperature was several degrees colder than the record cold, and then in the summer on a day when the temperature was several degrees warmer than the record high. What an amazing coincidence that each trip was not only a record setter, but exceeded current records. Then when he boasts about his highway speed I am reminded of the credibility gap. Then again, who knows if your assertions are true? Your M.O. has always been to ignore the point and pounce on some sideline trivia in order to derail the conversation into your desire to make personal attacks and get away from the issues under discussion.
