The Number Game

[Bert]

Hey, the forums have been pretty dead lately, so I thought I would start up another game. I like to call this forum game "The Number Game".

The rules are simple. Each post must continue the counting of the previous post but have some sort of picture related to the number they are on. You can explain why your picture relates to your number (if it is not obvious already). Try to keep the images a reasonable size guys. :)

For example:

Let's say one person's number is 21. Their post should look a little something like this:

21

http://theblackjackstrategy.net/img/blackjack-4.jpg

Then the next person has to do number 22:

22

http://www.audiobooksonline.com/media/Catch-22-Joseph-Heller-unabridged-compact-discs-Harper-Audio.jpg

Then the next person would do 23, then the person after that would do 24, and so on.

I will start us off at number 1:

1

I think this game is going to get harder and harder as it moves on. But it's pretty interesting.

VIC-20!


The VIC-20 was the first inexpensive color computer available, costing less than $300. It can only display 22 characters of text per line, so its use for business applications is minimal, but people loved it for games - it has good color, a joystick port, and it was cheap.

The VIC-20 is also the first computer ever to sell over 1 million units, just a few months ahead of the Apple II 1 million mark, and production of the VIC-20 was up to 9000 units a day, with sales reaching $305 million. The price of a VIC-20 eventually dropped to less than $100, the first color computer to do so.

http://www.highplainstraveler.info/photos/US-85.jpg

Now we're just into obscure numbers that don't have a lot of meaning...



South terminus: TX State Line at Anthony
Previously ---U.S. 80 at Las Cruces (until 1935)
Nationally --- Mexican border at El Paso TXNorth terminus: CO State Line N of Raton (http://www.mesalek.com/colo/r80-99.html#us85)
Nationally --- Canadian border near Fortune ND Length (NM): 483
County: Doña Ana, Sierra, Socorro, Valencia, Bernalillo, Sandoval, Santa Fe, San Miguel, Mora, Colfax
History: Established in New Mexico in 1926 along Route 1, and later (1935) extended to El Paso. It was not significantly realigned from that route until construction of I-25. By 1990, New Mexico ceased to mark U.S. 85 and renumbered all of its routes that had deviated from the interstate. These routes, from south to north, are NM-478 (Anthony to Las Cruces, though U.S. 85 was moved off this route by the 1960s except for the north end of 478 in Las Cruces); NM-185 (Las Cruces to Hatch);NM-187 south of T or C; NM-181 (north of T or C); NM-1 (Redrock to Socorro, though U.S. 85 was moved off this route by the early 1970s); NM-116 (Bernardo to Pueblitos); NM-314 (Belen to Albuquerque); NM-313 (Albuquerque to Bernalillo); NM-14 into Santa Fe; NM-466 (exiting Santa Fe on the east); and NM-445 (Maxwell to U.S. 64). Also, there are marked business loops through Raton, Springer, Las Vegas, Belen, Socorro, and T or C.
U.S. 85 also had Alternate routes, including one at Albuquerque (now NM-47) and a bypass route at Santa Fe (now NM-466) and Las Cruces (now NM-188).
Improvements: The only segment of U.S. 85 that was improved beyond 2-lane paved was from north of Bernalillo to Santa Fe. This was divided highway before it was upgraded to I-25.
Comments: Not formally removed by AASHTO, and present in Colorado and Texas, but this route has not been marked in New Mexico since around 1990. Where it left the interstate to pass through adjoining towns, these routes have either been redesignated as interstate business loops or given state route numbers. Nor is U.S. 85 even considered an "invisible" overlay on I-25 like it is in Colorado, at least by NMDOT (the state map does not show it, nor do nationally published maps, which would indicate that New Mexico is indicating the route is nonexistent). Thus, it is shown on this page as eliminated.
The photo at left is interesting in that it is a rare remnant of this route. Around 1976, Albuquerque closed 4th Street, which carried U.S. 85, between Central and Marquette Avenues for a mall and civic plaza. Originally, Marquette was one-way west, which forced southbound traffic west two blocks to 6th St., because 5th St. was one-way northbound. Northbound traffic had to detour to 2nd St. (then marked U.S. 85 Alternate) because 3rd St. was one-way southbound. I never saw any signage for the rerouted U.S. 85 before I moved away (1977). Apparently, Marquette and other streets in the area were changed to two-way operation and U.S. 85 was routed east one block to 3rd St. prior to 85 being eliminated - thus, this sign probably dates from the early 1980s.
