Ooh! It's nice that all the 70-mph roads in Texas are now 75, but my little car does not like to go that fast! (It shakes.) Fortunately there are other drivers who prefer to poke along at 70, so I was in good company.

Made it to the con hotel pretty quickly nonetheless--I beat Lorelei!--so I'm all checked in and chillaxing while Lorelei finishes getting here. So far I've seen Liz K, and of course her mom, and Territrek (aka Tex, the tall one). The pre-convention is starting!

I just find it amusing that people feel the need to go the speed limit, or above. It's supposed to be a maximum, not a minimum. :)

Inorite! I think the minimum is 45 or 50 on the highway--had to drive back from the airport on a donut once, 50 mph in the right lane with flashers all the way--but most of the time folks drive as if the max is the min!

"The pre-convention is starting!"

So that's like premature conventulation?

Glad you made it okay, despite the poky, shaky, pace. I'll head that way one day and show you how it's done, ;)

Speed limits are suggestions for the timid. I admit it, I'm a loose cannon.

But the car is good and I'm not dead yet.

Those are pretty good victory conditions! Reminds me of how a friend once described a successful faculty meeting: "Nobody died and nobody lost an eye."
