home (briefly)

Had a very nice time with medusas_secret at the contra dance in Urbana last night. It was a little different than the ones on Tuesdays here in Indy, but a little "cross-pollination" of contra dance groups is good, IMHO.

computerchix is almost home from Chicago as I type this. After we regroup, we've got to head out to a friend's "open house" for a while. I don't know how long I'll hold up tonight, though. Very tired...

Indiana highways and exit numbers

What is it with this state? Did they lay out the roads to do this on purpose? And am I just too geeky that I've noticed?

I've noticed a few of these occurences over the years, and last night I saw another one I had missed until then... It seems we have a lot of coincidental matching of highway numbers and interstate exit numbers. Indiana numbers interstate highway exits by mile-marker. The following exits are the coincidences I can recall:

I-65 exit #50: US-50 (near Seymour)
I-465 exit #37: IN-37 (& I-69, NE Indy)
I-465 exit #31: US-31 (Carmel/N Indy)
I-74 exit #25: IN-25 (W. of Crawfordsville)

I'd suspect there are more. I wonder how often they occur in other states...
