[thechat] Explain This Sentence

[Luther, Ron]

Hi Bob,


+1 on all accounts!   ;-)

My sweetie and I will be making that flight (uh, I mean drive) coming in from Houston this weekend!  Gonna spend the long weekend hitting market square, downing a few 'ritas on the riverwalk, and generally putzing around.

I'll stand a round if you feel like saying 'hi'.

;-)

I'm from San Antonio, and "Interstate 10" does indeed go to Houston.

Now, if "You drive an Interstate 10 from San Antonio to Houston, one-half the
time at 35 mi/h (= 56.3 km/h) and the other half at 55 mi/h (= 88.5
km/h)" you clearly aren't from Texas, because, with the exception of
the section that goes through Seguine (pronounced segeen), I've never
seen anyone going slower than 80. The total trip shouldn't take more
than 3.5 hours, and that's assuming it's not just a city limits to
city limits trip.

It's not a very pretty drive.
