I would always respond with the story, which is explained below. The town wasn't much, although there was some beautiful scenery, and I did actually get to meet People's Court Bailiff Rusty Burrell. And that, my friends, is my brush with greatness.

It was about 45 minutes from El Paso, and one thing I always remember was that as soon as you crossed the state line, drivers were suddenly going much faster. Needless to say, I  got with the program rather quickly. Problem was, it was still over the posted 70 mph limit.

Well, no more fellow travelers, because our fair Lone Star State is building a highway with an 85 miles per hour speed limit. Awesome!
