In some places in Texas, the maximum speed limit is 85 mph, which means that some jackass is probably doing 95 in the fast lane. As for me, I drive like a little old lady and do the ACTUAL speed limit. It's not because I'm all that old or because I'm scared of driving next to big rigs. It's because I hate getting speeding tickets.
I'm of the age that I learned to drive using a stick. I have loved it ever since. I'm in the market for a new car and would like to get one with a manual transmission, but it's hard to find.
There are some things that we don't think about during storms. Luckily, organizations like TxDOT DO think about such things, and they're there to remind us.
But there's one intersection - in my opinion - that I would consider the freakiest in Nacogdoches. This is one that makes me nervous anytime I go near it.
Maybe it was the song on the radio or perhaps something inside me just needed a break. So, when I came to that stop sign, I turned left toward the wilder roads.
