Also Let There Be Peace On Earth is a year round song about world peace but gets sometimes into the Christmas mix. 

That makes sense, though.  World peace is straight out of the Nativity story.

"And this will be a sign for you: you will find a babe wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger."

And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying,

"Glory to God in the highest,
and on earth peace among men with whom he is pleased!"

Isn't it ironic, then, that the holiday season is probably the least peaceful time of most adults' lives?

And why is that?  hmmm....  Oh yeah!  It's because Christmas is overrated.

Overnight trains are overrated.  You don't get to see the landscape, and it's hard to stay asleep.

Sometimes not seeing the landscape is a perk.

Overnight trains may be perfect for every trip east out of Denver

Unless you're catching one from a point east of Denver.  I used to board at McCook (NE), and it was always in the god-awful middle of the night.  Same thing for the reverse trip, too (arriving).

North Carolina's interstate grid is very incomplete, what's wrong with that?

What IS the point?  Mostly only grid perfectionists such as yourself want many of the corridors as Interstates.

I'm not trying to turn this into a fictional highway grid thread. I'm just saying it's not like North Carolina has alot of interstates. It's a very big state which very large gaps in the system. Even the freeways themselves have lots of gaps, regardless of whether they are designated or not.

And they should all be Interstates because why?

[MultiMillionMiler]

Never said that. It doesn't matter either way. It's not like North Carolina has too many is all I'm saying. That doesn't mean it needs more.

[Max Rockatansky]

You literally just said that the Interstate grid of North Carolina wasn't complete.  Sounds like you have lots of ideas and really want to share them with us in this thread.

Umm, do you listen to yourself or read what you are typing?

Wait a minute, did MultiDozenMiler just say that, even if he thinks a certain route should be an Interstate, that doesn't actually mean it should be turned into an Interstate?  Well, there's a clear distinction between him and FritzOwl!



But anyway, who is it that's supposedly rating North Carolina too highly because of its new Interstate proposals?  Nobody on this forum, that's for sure.

Maybe that’s where you belong. You need to get off Long Island and move to North Carolina.  They do things your way.

I don't have a personal opinion about whatever future plans should be done. But the opinion I have is that what they have done so far is not over-rated, and nor would any future plans if they were done. It's not rocket science.

I usually only think many routes should become freeways, but not that all new freeways nor should become interstates. And while I care about the existing roads fitting the grid, I don't care about "using up" every number. Those are the 2 key differences.

I'm confused.  Are you saying that, no matter what future plans North Carolina, your preformed opinion is that they won't be overrated?  If so, then how is that not a personal opinion?  And if not, then that must mean you have a personal opinion about what sort of plan would or would not be overrated.

An explanation as to why requires an opinion.  As we already have established, MMM does not have an opinion about his opinion that he began to opine on.

I don't have an opinion about North Carolina's future interstate plans. But what they have done so far isn't over-rated. Simple enough?

Yes, you do.  You've already opined that they're not overrated.  Even though you don't know what they are yet, you've already given your opinion about them.

Simple rocket science.

they chose the Zephyr to go west instead of a northern route because they'd get to see the Rockies.
