ORD update? Was curious about the length of the drive from Austin to SA and saw this:

The highway is noted for having the entire route with a speed limit of at least 80 mph (130 km/h). The 41-mile section of the toll road between Mustang Ridge and Seguin has a posted speed limit of 85 mph (137 km/h), the highest posted speed limit in the United States.

Field correspondent SB checking in. Lotsa trash on the side of the highway near Lafayette but what else is new. Considering stopping at The Lion's Den because I forgot to get my parents a Christmas present. Back to you, RowdyBoyy.

Funny story about Lockett. He, along with Barnett, attended my BIL's Christmas party. They had a casino night theme. So at the end of the night TLBL had $900+ in chips. He was like I can't accept this. Can you start a scholarship fund or give it to charity? It was play money. It was more endearing when SdK sis told the story, but

For any out-of-staters, there are no toll booths. Just breeze through and they'll send a bill to wherever your vehicle is registered. Be prepared to be surprised by the cost, though. Also, you'll be driving past Lockhart, in case you want to try some of the world's most famous BBQ. Also, 130 begins just north of Georgetown.
