This is the speed limit for the 8-mile stretch of highway that runs in front of our house. There are very few miles of road left in Nebraska with a 55 mph speed limit and unfortunately, there’s one out front of our house. I’d hate to count how many people have been pulled over for speeding in my grandparents’ driveway, me included.

It’s just so hard to drive 55! And to top it off, the road is very hilly and even set on cruise control, as you’re coasting down the hill the car usually ends up over 60 mph. Explain that to the policeman. “I swear officer, I was just coasting.”

The federal 55 mph limit for most highways in Nebraska was repealed in 1996 but our highway didn’t make the cut.

I guess Sammy Hagar said it best.

Until we walk again …
