" . . . the decision to designate Interstate routes in Hawaii may become clearer by adding that the Interstate System is more than just a series of connected highways. It is also a design concept, with highways designed to handle high volumes of traffic safely and efficiently at freeway speeds. Moreover, the Interstate System is not limited to routes passing through two or more States. Many Interstates, such as circumferentials/beltways and spurs, are confined to one State.

Although Hawaii's Interstate highways are not connected to those in the continental United States, they are built to Interstate standards. The fact that they carry an "H" number, rather than an "I" number differentiates them from the connected system of Interstate routes on the continental United States."

"Alaska and Puerto Rico also have Interstate highways."

It's in the post, and I know I'm building it up, but for some of you it might not be that spectacular, but to me it is.

Not sure if it is true but I heard that Interstates have to have at least 1 in 5 mile straights to allow them to double up as emergency landing strips. Might explain why Hawaii has Interstates.

There was bit a of a cock up on my part, I paid for the item directly via paypal with no EBay, Comiclink or other medium and forgot to change the delivery address to my new abode, I moved about four months ago.

Dude, you've got to be kidding...

So, for that, now you at least need to tell us what you and everyone else that has been following this thread is waiting for.

Well since being here in the states for a year and a half I've had several address, and the USPS offers a mail forwarding service which stays active for quite a while, I was having palpitations till it was confirmed by the postmaster that the package had in fact been redirected to my current address, hence the three day delay in receiving the item.

So while some might not be to excited about this addition to "Utopia" I'm over the moon about it, since my Harby #1 purchase earlier this year my wife and I cam to an agreement to limit my comic spending, its been tough and made me really appreciate the comics I do get.

Great thanks and appreciation go to Steve aka WBC who held onto this slab for me till I could raise the funds for it.
