Daily Picture Challenge!

[CNGL-Leudimin]

You also admit using US Eastern Time for your posts. So which time zone do you prefer?

No, I use my local time minus 6 hours (thus observing European DST rules instead of American ones), which matches with Eastern most of the year. Anyway, the challenge for today was already set, so I consider the Veteran or armed forces related signage to be invalid.

Challenge: Post veteran- or armed forces-related signs.

Veterans Pkwy is the main drag in Bloomington, IL.  Taken from IL-9.

I'll be on another Veterans Pkwy in Bolingbrook, IL later today.  Maybe I'll get a picture of that, too.

Looks like we have dueling challenges today, but this one seems to be taking off, so I'll go with this one.

November 11th, 2017
Challenge: Post veteran- or armed forces-related signs.

At the top of Loveland Pass, Colorado, on US 6.  April 13, 2002.

Taking advantage of my time zone, I set the challenge for "tomorrow" .

I use Eastern for forum purposes, so...

So by your own admission, you have deliberately circumvented the rules.
I think we should continue with  Veteran- or armed forces-related signs given this is Veterans Day.
Then we can go back to your challenge tomorrow (the 12th). Unless one of my co-moderators thinks otherwise.

2. Anyone may post the next day's Challenge, subject of course to Rule #1.

This makes the Veteran or armed forces related signage challenge unconstitutional .

I use Eastern for forum purposes, so...

...so, looks like your November 11th Challenge isn't valid, then (posted on Nov. 10th, Eastern time).

No, no. This contradicts rule 1:

1. Only one Challenge per calendar day (not per 24 hours). Calendars days are counted by your local time, so if it's the correct date when and where you post, it's valid. When posting an Answer, please quote the Challenge statement to which you're responding (in case the date displayed for some users doesn't match the Challenge date).

My local time zone is CET (although here I quote times of the day in Eastern time), so my challenge is valid, and this one...

November 11th, 2017
Challenge: Post veteran- or armed forces-related signs.

... is not valid as there was already one set up.

Anyway, I may remove my post for November 9th as it was already November 10th were I live.

Aha, I see the problem. The time zone issue was clarified in later posts as referring to whatever time is used for forum purposes, but the original post was never updated to reflect this clarification. It has now been edited accordingly.

Since you've previously noted that you use Eastern time for forum purposes, and since that's consistent with Rule #1 as clarified and now as amended, that seems like a fair basis for deciding this question.

So, the Veterans Day-themed Challenge suggested by JasonOfRoads will be the valid Challenge for November 11th.
SO ORDERED

I think it's perfectly alright to re-state CNGL-Leudimin's challenge on another day (the non- Veteran's Day one), and keep the other challenge (the Veteran's Day one by empirestate) for today (especially since it is very appropriate for this day). I mean, I goofed up a little while back and accidentally posted my own challenge on August 29th, while forgetting that that would be the day of that month dedicated to the monthly recap. But my attempted challenge was re-stated on a later, more acceptable day, which was a couple of days later on August 31st - and actually, you were the one who did that, CNGL-Leudimin. 


See here:

Since it's past midnight CEST (but not my forum time), I bring back this attempt by adventurenumber1 when it was recap time:

August 29th 31st Challenge ---> Post pictures of roads that are undergoing pavement milling, which is the scraping out of pavement on the surface, which is usually used for reasons such as (but this challenge is not limited to) a resurfacing or other construction projects:

So, per rule #2, I reinstate this for tomorrow:

November 12, 2017: Post Interstate shields showing a number which doesn't exist as an Interstate

Although I still regard it as the valid challenge for November 11, not the Veteran one (in first place because Spain has never fought in a World War).

Now that I don't follow...a veteran is someone who has served in the armed services. Does not Spain have any such people?

They certainly do. There was the whole Spanish Civil War, after all.

So, per rule #2, I reinstate this for tomorrow:

November 12, 2017: Post Interstate shields showing a number which doesn't exist as an Interstate

To Interstates 99W and 217 on SW Dartmouth St. in Tigard, OR. From the July 2012 GSV, since this has been corrected as of 2016:



This kind of error was standard for City of Tigard signage erected during the mid 1990s.

Again, you can't post on the 11th for a Challenge on the 12th. So far, November 12th is still open.

Now that  CNGL-Leudimin has managed to bollix things up, what IS today's challenge?

[MNHighwayMan]

bollix

That is a very interesting way to spell bollocks. (TIL of an alternative way to spell it...)

From the rules:

2. Anyone may post the next day's Challenge, subject of course to Rule #1.

You are breaking your own rules . Anyway, I repost the challenge again:

November 12, 2017: Post Interstate shields showing a number which doesn't exist as an Interstate

This time should be valid.

How so? Rule #1 says there's only one Challenge per day; you posted a second Challenge on a day when there already was one.

Anyway, I repost the challenge again:

November 12, 2017: Post Interstate shields showing a number which doesn't exist as an Interstate

This time should be valid.

Perfectly. And if nobody submits a photo for it, it will still be valid tomorrow.

I might be pushing it a bit with this particular interpretation of the challenge, but it's worth a shot anyway. (Pity points for creativity if it doesn't count? )

This assembly is in Iowa, and it has a shield for Missouri's section of I-35, which has zero miles in Iowa.

I've never seen two different names on a set of state-named shields before.

November 14, 2017: Post a sign photo showing the shield of an Interstate that spends less than 1 mile in the state where it was photographed.

Drat, I-684 in Connecticut is too long for this challenge, and my I-375 photo has no shields.
