I’ve cued up a clip about two and a half minutes long. It contains some facts I probably ought to have realized but never knew till I listened to the video:
Knew some of that, but not all. I90 looks longer than I5. I live 5 miles off I25. The other highway system is the “US Highway” system. I live a block off HY287, which is very long, from S. Texas to almost the Canadian border. 1791 miles.
We finally have some rain. Not a lot, but better than nothing

Of course, it’s not fair that they don’t get any sweet Federal highway cash just because they have no land connections. Hawaiian contractors also need to wet their beaks in our wallets. Alaska has them too.
The music is so distracting, I wonder why so many informational videos such as this one find it necessary to add it.
