It was in Durham. Vicky and I had dinner in the Hill on Saturday night. I totally didn’t think about the fact that I knew someone there. Next year I’ll give you notice and we can hang out!

You should let me know, since I live here in the Hill now.

It was nice to see you again this year. Sorry we did not have time to sit down and chat. Just one note: the conference was not organized by Seed Media Group but by Blogtogether.org, a community of local bloggers and communicators.

Over 35 mph may have been inefficient back then, but I remember reading a chart (possibly on this blog) that showed with most modern cars, the ideal speed to get the best gas mileage is about 55 to 60 mph.

A quick search for that chart turned up a blank, but I did find this speed vs. MPG chart for the Prius:

Looks like the ideal speed for a Prius to get the best mileage is about 25 to 40 mph.

Heheh yeah driving like a Senior Citizen helps.

I saw a WWII propaganda sign in a museum once. It told people (possibly paraphased), “Every mile you drive over 35, Axis smiles.”
