Missed the gopher museum. I feel sad now.<br /><br />The gig was a 28th birthday party put on by the manager of the hotel and bar, for her sister. Good fun.<br /><br />Glenna - I'd heard Montana had no legal speed limit... but Virginia? On divided highways it's 110 kph (69 mph) but not on two-lane roads.<br /><br />Jade - yup. Flat.<br />Reminds me of the term MAMBA that I heard applied to the Isle of Lewis in Scotland - Miles And Miles of Bugger-All.Malcolm Russellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11764866197996240367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5894028393776197424.post-789657769439948542010-04-13T11:57:31.562-06:002010-04-13T11:57:31.562-06:00Wow, that's a lot of...flat.

That's IT? That's ALL?...100 km/hr=62 mph. That's IT? That's ALL? It may explain why the engine in my rental car the last time I was in Canada wheezed up the mountain passes. We are speed demons here; the last time I followed a hearse to the gravesite (with the coffin onboard), we hit 85 (136.8) on the interstate. <br /><br />We have an old, much-loved, very tinkered-with corvette. It's up to 497 hp, I believe. Unfortunately, we live in an urban area where speeds are kept low by congestion, unless, of course, you're part of a funeral procession.Glennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02331252407069170477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5894028393776197424.post-18182422396116013352010-04-13T08:00:17.998-06:002010-04-13T08:00:17.998-06:00Three Hills?

Cara's family is from Trochu, just a few kilometres from Three Hills. How'd you end up doing a gig there?Brucehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10464981985559714587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5894028393776197424.post-23358723518492308862010-04-13T07:55:57.880-06:002010-04-13T07:55:57.880-06:00Ooh, Glenna the speed-demon!

I'm thinking that's a nice stretch of road for letting the 'vette open up. Is there a speed limit? Time for a road trip!Glennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02331252407069170477noreply@blogger.com
