Oh.  Interstates I'd expect.... the two lanes not so much.... Even I
might not be all that comfortable driving there....

I guess one has to be from there to feel at all comfortable there... I'm
also used to the eastern highways with the speed limits lowered in the
more congested or more heavily populated areas....

 JM> And even at that speed I was often passed like I was sitting still.

That's still pretty typical.... did you pass anyone...?  That's
generally my guage for what's a good speed... not the fastest on the
road, but not the slowest one either...  

ttyl         neb
