Good Grief Mr.Schneider; this is redundant enough to be patronizing isn't it.  It is seriously doubtful that anyone on this list doesn't understand this isn't it.  Besides I am starting my 8th decade aren't I; I haven't lived in a vacuum.

My apologies Mr.Lybarger for not perceiving the Division number preceding the route number for internal identification purposes.  I see the usage don't I.
