=====================================
Hiya Nancy!
-> 
->  hn> We have I-5 for north/south, and I-90 for 
->  hn> east/west...if we're "going" anywhere those
->  hn> are the most likely avenues for travel. We
->  hn> could use side roads but that would take
->  hn> a LOT longer to get anywhere. Speeds on 
->  hn> the Freeways are 70+ outside the urban areas
->  hn> so you can make good time and I usually 
->  hn> set the cruise to speedlimit plus 5-8.
-> 
-> At best ours are 65, and that only in "non-populated" areas.  Usually 55
-> is tops, even on the limited access roads.  And apparently we have more
-> urban even in upstate than you do.
->
Once you get off the "I-5 Corridor", most
of Washington is small towns and not 
very close together...we gots a lot of
"open space" here! 
 
->  -> Ah, but the joke is (although she was quite serious about it), the only
->  -> reason she might have sped was if she lost track of how fast she was
->  -> driving, which wasn't likely in the first place, and she generally drove
->  -> below the limit anyway... :)  Much more the quintessential "little old
->  -> lady" driver than I... I probably more resemble that "granny" in the
->  -> 50's/60's song...
->  ->
->  hn> Hmmm, You from Pasadena eh? (grin)
->  
-> Yeah, that one... (G)   So to speak, anyway... ;)
-> 
I've seen plenty of those! (grin)

->  ->  hn> you can open 'er up a bit. Got my first "warning" for 
->  ->  hn> doing 140 in my 66 XKE on the way to Spokane...
->  -> Now that sounds like fun...  :)   And I can see where the looooong
->  -> stretches would be an encouragement to open things up, to keep from
->  -> being bored silly, if nothing else...  ;)
->  -> 
->  hn> Yup! Loved that XKE...but it was a mechanic's
->  hn> dream...lucas electrics and weber carbs...
->  hn> had it in the shop a LOT...finally traded it
->  hn> off when I was in Hawaii...but it was the 
->  hn> best "chick magnet" I ever had!!
-> 
-> Better'n the bikes?  ;)
->
HOLY SMOKES yes!! An E type convertable
is an beauty to behold...heck it's so fast
it's doing 90 when it's parked!! (grin)
 
->  hn> Oddly enough (or maybe not) My back went "out"
->  hn> yesterday when I fed the bird...now both my knee
->  hn> and my back are making me hobble...I look like
->  hn> a 100 year old man when I walk!
-> 
-> One depends on the other... and the body tries its best to compensate.
->
Oh don't I know that!!(grin)

->  hn> hap (who's finding sitting doesn't help either!)
-> 
-> Get thee to a chiropractor or a good massage therapist!  And don't feel
-> guilty about lying down for a spell to get that skeleton to settle back
-> where it belongs... :)
-> 
Usually the only thing that helps the back
is time and slow stretches..every time I've
used a chiro it's just gotten worse. Massage
however does help!

-> ttyl      neb
-> 
-> And believe it or not, this was TOTALLY random!    (G)
-> 
-> ... Everything put together falls apart sooner or later.

Suuuuuuuure it was! (grin)
chat with you soon!
hap (who's actually feeling better!)
