It looks like Delaware has a color detour system for the 896 interchange project in the style of Pennsylvania's.

The detour requiring turning around at the Biden Welcome Center is much more interesting IMO.

Do any countries use both the $ symbol and a comma for a decimal point?

Portions of Canada, for one (French-speaking areas). But normally in French the dollar sign goes after the amount, not before.

Many of the loyalty programs do "sales" by marking up the price and having loyalty program use be required to bring it back down.

Did I hear someone mention Black Friday sales?

If YOU purchased yes. But if you are given a gift with a gift receipt, it's almost always returned only for in store credit.

Well, that's a weird double standard.

It's not really a double standard. It's different standards for different types of purchases.

It was done in 2019, between I-65 and I-74.

I'm surprised they're going to close that section again, as I drive it near every day and it's in good shape overall. I would understand if they were going to close from I-74 northward, or from I-70 northward as suggested above. Maybe it has something to do with the ramp metering.

A case could be made (and maybe was) for not giving Cousins a max contract given his age, injury history, quality of play, etc. But the Falcons did, and by drafting Penix they've created quarterback controversy before their first OTAs. A bad look if nothing else.

Shame how the Falcons are starting to become an example of embarrassing management and poor communication.

Why did this thread get bumped when there is an identical thread on the first page?

The Edgar Allen Poe Bridge.

Murder out the trusses.

Just make sure Montresor isn't involved in building the bridge piers, he might lure in an unsuspecting worker with a cask of Amontillado.

It's an issue if there's a blockage 1.5 miles into the couple of miles. And you can't get out.

And with I-94 traffic to contend with.
