i thought this was spring break! why is there snow on the ground?! where am i -- michigan?!?

the trip home went smoothly yesterday except for annoying trucks and slow drivers. construction is finally complete on the PA turnpike, and it is BEAUTIFUL. beautiful because first, there is no construction, and second, now it's a beautiful spacious fast 3 lane highway. the only problem is the speed limit, for whatever reason, is still 55 mph. helllooooo, this is the 21st century, we don't drive 55 mph anymooooore. i was actually rehearsing what i would say to the cop who would pull me over for speeding. "sir, i mean no disrespect by this, but i would honestly like to know why the speed limit needs to be 55 mph on a 3-lane highway." thankfully, i didn't have the opportunity to ask.
