It's a famous area... and really the only way to go. Speed limit changes constantly in-between 65 and 35, and EVERYBODY goes exactly the speed limit, not a MPH higher. I refuse to drive it, if we go that way the wife drives. Which is also stressful.... Its a pity that's the only way they can make money.

Welcome to Sodom and Gomorrah! Congressman Ended CPAC Drinking with Young Republicans in a Bathtub How do Texas congressmen party? For Rep. Steve Stockman this weekend, it involved a 300-person party, college kids, a bathtub, and a ton of alcohol. Stockman, who recently lost a bizarre Senate primary race challenge to Texas incumbent Sen. John Cornyn, apparently spent Saturday night sipping on brown and clear liquor and offered partiers $20 to jump in the tub at a CPAC after-party. According to the Washington Post, the room belonged to two Brooklyn radio hosts who were upgraded to the suite after the convention center hotel ran out of double rooms. Sensing a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to party with congressmen in bathtubs, the hosts advertised their good fortune on Twitter under the hashtag #unsustainablebartab, apparently a GOP code word for RAGER. And rage the 300-odd guests did, until David Weigel started cock blocking the congressman: We were just starting to talk small when a young Republican ambled over and the congressman wrapped his arm around her. "We've known each other for years," explained Stockman with a laugh. She was inviting him to a join a smaller, and presumably less reporter-friendly, conversation in an adjoining room. Weigel got a high-five for his troubles. It's unclear if the bathtubbers ever got their $20.
