Hi and
Only 55 mph? Try 80 - 90+!!! I swear that's how fast they rush by me on my I-10 drive into Baton Rouge every day. Do 70 mph and they run you over!! But I know how you feel. I'm ready to stop driving and start living too.
Anyway, I'm new here too (about 2-3 weeks), but you will find a wealth of information and lots of very friendly VAs to help and encourage you. I did!
Welcome and best wishes!
