Should Jamestown be accepted into the NSIC?

I guess with the price of a barrel of light sweet crude where it is at (opened a hair over $65 today), the State of North Dakota had to do something to try and increase production in the oil fields. Let's let everyone drive 80+ and burn more fuel.

Found out that the car doesn't like 80 MPH from a gas mileage standpoint....... I guess the sweet spot is somewhere between 60-75 MPH.

I've noticed that with my vehicles as well. I'm not saving any time by driving faster if I have to make more gas stops. I usually set the cruise at 70 mph.

Plus I've noticed it's a lot less stressful to let everyone else worry about passing me, instead of being the one worrying about passing others.

My Thunderbird got 30 mph at 62 mph. Then I got a Ranger. 18 at that speed. I don't feel comfortable at 80 mph anymore with my Escape. 70 is fast enough. But yes, you can watch the gauge go down.

North Dakota has good roads


despite the bump on I29 and I 94 the trip to Jamestown there will be all back roads and small town exploring. On the way home likely 81 mph on the interstates

What was it before? I remember driving to Williston years ago and being surprised with them on 1 land roads. They clearly understood people wanted to get out as fast as possible.

And, just an FYI, Interstate driving in North Dakota bumps up to 80 MPH today. But, from what I have heard, the cops are no longer giving the 5 MPH leeway. Two MPH over, you may be pulled over.[/QUOTE]

With Vodka?

Bring a flask, you're going to need it! Fortunately, coach OJ is a nice guy and doesn't run scores up. Wait until you play Duluth for a lopsided score, like 65-3.

Posted this in the Food Thread, but will post here as well.

Well, we hit Jamestown for lunch yesterday. Went to Johnny Bs downtown. My wife and I each ordered a personal pizza. It was wood fired and had a good crust, and the dough was made in house, I believe. Could have been cooked a little longer in my opinion. Our son had a double smashed cheeseburger, which had really great flavor. And, there was nothing smashed about it, those patties were still thick. If we would have known that smashed didn't mean smashed, we wouldn't have let him upgrade to the double. Lol!

They had a very large selection of beers on tap! I am not a beer drinker, but if you are, this would be a great place to stop. Also had a full bar. The building itself was cool, old bricks and an industrial ceiling.

Sorry, didn't want to hit Paradiso, as I figured we still had 2.5 hiurs to Minot and I didn't want one of their infamous Margaritas in my system.
