Two more things

[dira]

One, a sheepish observation I meant to include yesterday: since writing a story in which Ray Person removes his gloves by biting the fingertips, I have become 100% more likely to remove my gloves by biting the fingertips. /o\


Two, a question for Californians: if a person did not happen to know the local name of the highway she was on, because of reasons, but did know that it was (California) State Road 3, what would she call it? Not the 3, presumably. California 3? State Road 3? 3? This situation would never arise because non-numerical names are printed on all the highway signs?

State Highway 3 - there are almost never non-numerical name signs anywhere on the road itself (that I've seen). But everyone would understand State Highway 3, no matter what else it was called.

ETA: If you are in a town and talking to locals and 3 runs near or through town and thus everyone knows it, you would probably just call it 3. "I'm gonna take 3 to the lake."
