    Define “reasonable and prudent”.

    I take it that doesn’t include triple digits. :biggrin_25523:

    Both y'all, gotta love Lexington, KY settings...
    Says; in the city speed limit is 35, unless otherwise posted. So you do not see a varying sign every 4 blocks and on side streets.
    It is school zone. hospital, and volume crash sites that are posted. refreshing to zip around New Circle Road or Man O War at a good clip...

    Creep thru Hutto on 79 (since it grew from 2 lights, a pawnshop and an old rusty steel seed processing building) to a crazy quilt layout of the Round Rock overflow. But, go a half mile and hit the toll road and never let up till the elevated sharp left turn drops you into Austin.
    Its early day, some did not let off soon enough

    Three women, Sara Luna, Valerie Luna, and Marissa Medrano, died when their car plummeted from SH 130 onto Tesla Road in southeast Austin on Sunday.

    Yes, remember back after the 55 MPH nationwide speed law era? If a state did not declare and enforce, its federal funds for roads would be cut off.(See. Trump is not the first hard ###) , but I digress.
    So Montana...
    An in state rancher was blaring to town, 80 mile away and cutting about 95. LE felt compelled to stop him.
    Montana legislature had established a speed limit to comply, but in its infinite wisdom of its voters habits had included a stipulation.
    Speeding fine was $5.00, and payable at the stop site to the stopping officer.
    So, the officer checks the guys out and says well, it $5.00 fine for your speeding. Man opens wallet and hand him a $20. Officer says he has no change, man says that the smallest he has. Stalemate... NO..
    Man says no problem as he moves to his car saying : "Just take out the next three, I gotta go."

    I always cited the weather; Clear and dry, good smooth roadbed, all tires matched w/good tread, lack of any traffic in front of me, Wide awake and enjoying the view of his state...(Good somewhere tween Wilcox and Benson, AZ up to 74 he claimed.)

    Nevada was $15 “Wasting Resources” — used to pack a wad of $20s — wasn’t unusual to spend $40 getting to Vegas

    E. D. (electrician dude said he would be by last week. He has good references from two (2) long time well respected locals so I figure he will get here. Eventually. He said he will wire it 110 and 220. Eventually.

    Yes they do. They share the same building and same people sling appliances and license items. They all very nice. Mom was done in about five (5) minutes. Last time I went thru the license joint in Austin it was a two (2) hour affair.
    And I’m with you on buttons. The fewer the better.
