Best wishes from Chip, his niece Buffy, the Antiplanner, and the Antiplanner’s friend, Vickie. Plus, I have a little holiday present for you.
The Federal Highway Administration has started to publish its 2007 Highway Statistics. These include a couple of tables that contain lots of useful data about urban areas, but the tables are annoyingly difficult to work with.
order cheap viagra When people have serious prostate problems, they may try to recover health by prostatectomy. Ian McGrath, a professor of physiology at the University of Florida published order viagra on line a study in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry that found that acai berries triggered a self destruct response in up to 86% of human cancer cells. One is required to simply consume 1 pill at a room temperature which should be 15-30 degree. usa cheap viagra One of them is the levitra buy . The tables are HM-71, which lists miles of road and daily vehicle miles traveled for various kinds of roads in each of more 458 urban areas; and HM-72, which lists other important characteristics for each of those urban areas.
I have two problems with the FHwA’s Excel files. First, it puts the 458 urban areas on nine different sheets, or about 50 urban areas per sheet. So I make a new file that puts them all on one sheet. Second, for those urban areas that are in multiple states, it breaks down the data by state. This can be useful, but if you are trying to get totals, averages, or do other calculations, you effectively double-count those areas. So I delete the state-by-state breakdowns.
The result are modified tables HM-71 and HM-72. If you find these modified tables useful, they are my Christmas gift to you. Perhaps not as big a gift as my Thanksgiving gift, but that’s the way the holiday cookie crumbles.
Those 2 look like they’re enjoying winter. I might not be on here today expect my 19 month old nephew was throwing a fit to sit in my lap and watch you tube videos of trains. 🙂
Merry Christmas to everyone!
Thank you for the work on these, Randal. These are easier to use than your last one.
Happy holidays, and I hope your snow shovels aren’t broken so you can get out of the house after this next round.

Am getting ever more pissed at planning and would like to help. Perhaps putting your Thanksgiving and Xmas spread sheets into a data base with Java applet front end for user queries. Direct answers to many queries and possibly generated xls for others. I would need some help/direction from you as to most useful info to display, etc. This probably s/b in email to you but don’t know your direct email adr.

I get pissed off as well with planners that just want to put down more & more asphalt just for the sake of putting down asphalt.
