Message 1850501 - Posted: 22 Feb 2017, 12:06:02 UTC - in response to Message 1850497.  

Where will you find IIII?

On a watch dial or clock face. Being a watch collector and perfectionist I find it very annoying that they don't use the proper Roman numeral IV.

Isn't a IV a bag with some fluid in it and a long hose with a needle on the end?

Yes and hopefully some nice drug as well.

The Yermo Post Office is to the left of the market, and is in the same building, you can see the window, but not the doors or the blue mailbox, the market is on the right.
The doors to the Post Office looks like the ones the Market has. Yermo does have a Saloon off to the right(out of frame).
And yes I need to go and take a better pic, since I didn't take one of the whole building. But not today, it's really windy outside now.

But no operating gas station, car parts, or real estate office in downtown Yermo, though there is a staffed volunteer fire station, an antique store across from the market(painted Orange and White), and a place that will sell you tires, plus a small motel, and a fast food restaurant that was the original location of the original Del Taco(not the phony one in Barstow, that is the original Corporate Del Taco). There are a few gas stations, a motel, a diner, a 50's restaurant, a Jack in the Box, an ice cream shop(Dairy Queen, in the Shell station w/the Subway), and a Subway restaurant, all clustered around Ghost Town Rd, so named cause the road goes to the Calico Ghost Town(a county owned park really, which even has an operating steam train), at least the half that isn't at Knott's Berry Farm.

My father was a programmer by profession. As such, he belonged to an organization called the MarkIV Users Group, meaning he knew how and was allowed to work in some piece of software/language/whatever by that name. Their nickname for themselves was the IV League, which, in a bit of humorous pretension, they pronounced Ivy League. I preferred to pronounce it eye vee, in a not-fully-thought-out attempt to imply that they were all so nuts they needed intravenous medication.

I found a bike that I could in theory ride, since from what bestupnow says, this custom 8spd bike can support up to 550lbs in weight, though the price is a shocker @ $2,199.00...
