We actually have the highest speed limit in the country.....85 mph! But watch out for the wild hogs...

Coincidentally, it's near the new F1 race track.   BTW - First day of Spring is today, 78* here today.

23°c here today. Glycine blossoming, soon time to find the shorts and sandals.

Bu**er me, 85mph now in Texas !!!!!! Back in the day when I lived in El Paso it was still 55, and with a CB1100 F you can imagine how many tickets I got.

It's April and 53 degrees, almost naked weather! It's amazing how are bodies can get used to extreme temperature fluctuations over time.  Is it really spring?

Weather has been superb, but now the dreaded yellow haze is upon us.  I parked my bike next to a pine tree in my yard and it looks like its been in a barn for 15 years.  No point in washing it till this #$%* goes away.

Someone said they saw the snow this morning in Central OK. I didn't notice any. Freezing tonight is the forecast.

Well, we got the three inches they predicted. Interestingly one of the forecast models predicted this six days ago. I'll have to try and find out which one it was, obviously an accurate model.
