The National Highway system was conceived by Eisenhower and was intended to provide long enough stretches of road that a plane could land on the highway (I think).

Guernica Redox Here is a question for all - put a brainstorm on the wall. Mathews and my father both served in the Pacific in WW2 - The repercussions of the war created the Ecumenical Institutes both in Europe and the US. How did the war change things like agriculture? Food needed to be packaged to last and be transported. Labor was in short supply - were we making tanks and better tractors? After the big war , American aid was often tied to the purchase of American Farm machinery, and the gentle subsistence (environmentally better?) agriculture was seen as "primitive". I can't remember - but I think our national highways were somehow seen as "military". We gridded territory politically -- I like griding according to watershed so that people can see how what happens upstream effects downstream. I think the new face of Guernica needs to include the fish we can not eat.....etc On Sun, Aug 27, 2023 at 4:58 PM frankknutson2 via OE <oe@lists.wedgeblade.net<mailto:oe@lists.wedgeblade.net>> wrote: [cid:image001.png@01D9D90A.B9221820] Sent by your most holy one _______________________________________________ OE mailing list OE@lists.wedgeblade.net<mailto:OE@lists.wedgeblade.net> http://lists.wedgeblade.net/listinfo.cgi/oe-wedgeblade.net -- Regards, Colleen Haithcock
