The Cowboy Autobahn


I need one of these, the better to thunder down Interstates 20 and 10 in West Texas, where the posted speed limit increased to 80 mph today. I’m gratified that the Texas state legislature had the stindeens to approve such a measure.

What will be interesting, or more likely nauseating, will be the comments from non-Texans who think that this is some act contrary to nature, that in the name of “conservation”, “safety”, or whatever, that this is a Bad ThingTM.

I’m just glad that state government still counts for something, like it says in a somewhat overlooked document called …err… The Constitution.

I hear tell they play good music there, too.

    You are absolutely on. Especially since in my dreams I didn’t pay for it. Or the insurance.
