Re: New speed limits
Vimto, I use to conveniently work late on Christmas eve just so I could fly into Midland and save a 5 hour drive, it always was better to drive away rather than to the place. For a small town I can never get my head around how it shuts down at 7 pm! Even when I lived in my old home town of Aberystwyth things stayed open late!

Re: New speed limits
If you think Midland is bad then you should try working out of Sweetwater, it might be the wind turbine capital but its a #$%& hole, I had the 'pleasure' of commuting back and forth from Atlanta for 3 years. Was dry until a year back only a couple of places to eat and both were barbeque which is fine for 2 nights but not for 2 weeks
The only alternative was to commute there from Abilene which at least had some alternatives.

Re: New speed limits
Thank God for the new Texas Speed limits, now my 350 Mile Dallas to Midland/Odessa trip can be safely (NO TICKETS) be done in 4:30 hrs....Just a little over the limit.........After 10 years here, I have one dismissed ticket and 3 warnings, one in Williamson County.........AMAZING for those in Texas. So lead foot friends, lets hear those stories.
Your username is Nigs. Not sure how I feel about that.
