666

In The New York Times this morning, I saw an article about widening all 666 miles of Route 2 in Montana to four lanes. I was ecstatic about the possibility of this happening in the near future, thinking that I was instrumental in helping to accomplish this improvement on account of my report of my horror-filled driving experience while in Montana recently.

Then I looked at the map.

Going-to-the-Fucking-Sun Road is not part of Route 2.

So, I have formed an opinion on the subject of widening Route 2. Why do you want to mess with 666 miles of road? That's the sign of the devil. You'll be sorry.

Too funny!

Sounds like the going-to-the-fucking-sun road might need to be included in them ther' devil numbers.

Oh Bill. Here's one reason why I adore you so much. In the midst of my extreme holiday stress, you write a post that references one of the funniest things you've written. I didn't even have to re-read the Montana post, I just giggled semi-hysterically while remembering.

Thank you for the stress reliever!

All the more lanes to funnel the folks fleeing the apocalypse?

For those committed to Satan, there's Route 666 which winds down the western side of Colorado and New Mexico. Cf. Natural Born Killers.
