Sorry! I didn't say. I was born and raised there,and moved to Texas in 1975,after leaving the US Air Force.And yes,the (Nixon) 55-MPH National Speed Limit was still in force.
And a 'Small-World' trivia moment: Fembot-L was married to Ph.D. candidate,Patrick Sutherland,of The University of Texas at Arlington,Department of Mathematics,who was tasked with,and a position created specifically for the nationwide,uniform data acquisition,and stochastic statistical analysis which led to the adoption of the 55-MPH speed, as the 'sweet-spot' for energy efficiency and highway safety.
