Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / Driving / April 2007Photo of Federal Route 180
Hi All, excluding the ban-ditos of MTR, The Worldwide Highway Library continues its capture of Southwestern Americana, one photo at a time! Today, we provide a glimpse of Deming, New Mexico. The beautiful desert town, sitting on an extremely pure aquifer, is an important crossroads for traffic heading towards Tucson and the Grand Canyon. To capture the spirit of this thriving oasis, the Library shows local a picture of Federal Route 180. Courtesy of photographer Lawrence Alba, your eyes can now feast on an intersection that's an hour away from the thriving city of Las Cruces: http://worldwide-hwys.calrog.com/us-180.html (Don't like it?

Not missing much, just a sepia tone picture focusing on what appears to be the back of a traffic light mounted horizontally with a near by blue sign pointing left for SR11 to Mexico and right for US180 to Silver City.

Good work - but where is the confirmation that he is not getting married? Jason Pawloski <jpawloski@gmail.com> said in misc.transport.road: >This is too much to handle. Good work - but where is the confirmation >that he is not getting married? Well, in a strict scientific sense, this theory is still unproven. However, as long as it continues to fit all the available evidence, and there is no evidence to disprove it, I am going to continue believing it. You may recall Cal's big Drama Queen Exit of a few months ago, where he claimed he would not be posting to these newsgroups or updating his web site because he wanted to spend more time with his new bride-to-be. He was gone for about a month, and then he came back with both guns blazing. He's been going strong ever since. OTOH, I feel pretty certain that, if he *had* gotten married, there would be some evidence of it. One of Cal's famous press releases, perhaps, or some wedding pictures on his web site (or his new MySpace page). He has never been shy about posting photos of himself and his fiancee in the past, or blogging about their trips to Sedona or Chicago. And yet there is nothing. Meanwhile, except for a week's hiatus while he moved from CA to NM, there has been a constant stream of updates to/posts about his site. You would think that a newly-married man could find lots of more exciting things to do than update a lame web site and post announcements about it in Babel-French... SignatureDon't like it?

NY State Route 90 (as opposed to I-90) is a state scenic byway, through Cortland and Cayuga Counties, then up along Cayuga Lake. NY 104, NY 370 I like as well. US 20 between Auburn and Cazenovia is nice as well. > Ladies and Gentlemen (and I use those words loosely), in a sure sign > that the Apocalypse is upon us, someone calling themself Linux Based [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > I'm probablly headed that way in Sept to see family in the area.

IIRC, in most jurisdictions it is required to obtain a license to marry, and one would expect marriage licenses to be published on the Web at least in some cities.

I don't care THAT much. :) Besides, if it bothers Cal that everyone thinks he was dumped at the altar, he can post a scan of the marriage certificate on his web site and prove my theory wrong in short order.

From what I saw there, WalMart opened a Super Center and drove the other two independent supermarkets out of business...empty stores and "thriving" don't exactly go together in my mind. As for "Federal Route 180" being a "southwestern America corridor", it's more accurate to describe it as three separate routes strung together by a single number. Nor is it the fastest route connecting Grand Canyon and Dallas, though it's not out of the way. Heck, as far as New Mexico is concerned, it ends at I-10 in Deming - you won't see another 180 sign till you get to Texas. I guess this comment gets me banned by Carl. Què làstima.

Normally I do too, but I recreated my Firefox profile about a month back, and it looks like I forgot to turn that one off. :) Plus, I just wanted to complain about CR's site; forcibly resizing an existing browser window is just plain bad website design.
