Dwayne - not to derail the thread, but I have a story that you might enjoy. Back in the 70s, my mother acquired a Pontiac Firebird. She taught about 15 miles from home. She noticed that she was getting to school (and back home) a bit quicker than she was used to experiencing. After having the car for over a month (and driving it daily), she was driving Dad to Storm Lake for some reason or other. As they drove down US#3, Dad admonished Mom for driving so fast. To this she replied that she was merely driving the speed limit, which at the time was 70 mph. Turns out that her old car had a 120 mph speedometer, so 70 was a bit past the middle of the dial. The Firebird had a speedometer that went to 150 mph, a small detail that escaped her detection. She, a creature of habit, was merely driving a bit past the middle, which meant that she had spent more that a month touring the country while blithely driving at 90 mph, without drawing the attention of anyone who would officially frown upon it.


Not a real member - just an ordinary guy who appreciates being able to hang around and say something once in awhile.

Happily Trapped In the Past (Thanks, Joe)

Not only a less than minimally educated person, but stupid and out of touch as well.
