Dear Dull Men’s Club

A friend who's a highway engineer came across this one & thought you might be
mildly interested.

Dear Anonymous,

Thank you for informing us about this fascinating web site.

It was especially interesting to read the FAQs. It’s really quite something, isn’t it,
that Ontario has been assigning route numbers to its highways since 1925. And
that mystery as to why there is no Highway 1 is intriguing indeed. I won’t
comment on all the other riveting trivia in the FAQs as I don’t want to spoil it
for readers.

I enjoyed looking at all the pictures on this web site, not only pictures
of the highways themselves which are nice and straight (dull men like things to be nice
and straight) but also all the highways’ signs.

This web site is so thoughtful. It even has information about decommissioned
highways. I am sure these old highways appreciate that. It would be an awful
thing to be decommissioned and then forgotten.

Something I like about the title of the web site is that it uses not one but two
apostrophes.
