I see Hardee's and Carl Jr.'s are separate colors. Aren't they the same thing? They have the same star logo, here where I live it's Hardee's.

That's not what I meant. I was talking about expressways or limited access highways, what the European posters were calling motorways (multilane roads with exits and no lights or traffic circles). I think there, at least in the UK, motorways are always M + a number (or can A roads be motorways for small stretches). In the US, all interstates are motorways. But not all motorways are interstates. For example, in Conneticut State Route 8 is a motorway for most of its length:

Others can switch between the two depending on where. US-101 near downtown San Francisco:

A few miles to the south

It doesn't qualify as an interstate because its limited access in some spots but not others. But there's no sign for "motorway".

The show Longmire, which had been cancelled, got picked up by Netflix! //www.city-data.com/forum/37344531-post142.html

I like the show and I'm glad there'll be more of it.

I just realized that, I'm even more glad I'm moving to the UK. Not only I would get 4 weeks vacation off the bat, but flying to Korea from Heathrow is only a 10 hour flight direct and Japan is an extra hour from Seoul that beats 14 and 16 hour flights from here, respectively. The only tradeoff is, Australia is several hours further away than from the Northeast US, and going for a tropical break from winter isn't as practical (or affordable) like it is here. Well I will find out what the Canaries are like in the winter, but I'm sure gonna miss my £200 r/t flights to Puerto Rico.
