Google appears to have driven on a road that was still under construction (!)

I was unaware that New Hampshire state route 10 extended to India.

There's a lot of overlap between India's two letter state codes and the US'. Including the National Highways (NH) and National Expressways (NE).

Overall, India did take a lot of cues from the US/Interstate systems when they renumbered the entire NH system back in 2011 though. I do find India's fondness of suffixed 3dNH (NH 765D, 765DG, and 930P in Telangana, for example) numbering a bit annoying, however.

Sad to see, but I can't say it's a totally unjustifiable change, given that an increasing number of people get their weather forecasts from the Internet and a lot of what local "meteorologists" did was read off NWS forecasts in front of a green screen.

I find that a good local meterologist is more accurate than the online forecasts.  Emphasis on good.  I can count on WTEN's weather coverage to be more accurate than the online forecasts most of the time.  WROC's, not so much (in fact, I lost a lot of trust in WROC's weather after the eclipse).  If you can find a station with an older meteorologist who's been there for 20-30 years, they're the ones to watch.

Not funny.

Unfortunately, the only 1-8 junction photo I have for Oregon also works for 1-3, so I already posted it on the 13th.  If I'd had a chance, I would've gotten a different photo today for the same junction on my way back from golf, but thanks to a slow foursome ahead of us making the round clock in at 5 hr 20 min, it got dark before I could get there.  (I know, I know: TMI in that tearful tale of woe.)

So here's that photo again, now for OR 221 and OR 18:



I might as well get the jump on tomorrow, while I'm at it.  For 1 and 9:

OR 211 and OR 99E:



OR 551 and OR 99E:

International Highways / Re: India’s Road Building Boom

Mumbai's coastal road is a pretty impressive feat of engineering. And when it's finished, I'm sure it will become a famous landmark, like Chicago's Lake Shore Drive.

Isn't it pretty much finished by now? I thought it's being opened piece by piece at this point.

India appears to have a NH 10 "bye pass". No idea if or how it's signed.

Looks like this from the West Bengal side: https://maps.app.goo.gl/QbYUzboSZJh4xmoz8
The bypass is signed as NH 10 mainline.

The PA at the Capitals game played Hail to the (and the crowd filled in Redskins) when the score was 10–7.
