What to do when you're bored driving the ~5-hour FL panhandle at 77 mph? Try to snap decent pics while keeping your eyes on the road, of course!

Can't see squat in this one, but I thought it's a cool pic, & shows that those guys mow even in a down pour (bye-bye bug splats):

Thomas, you are right. If you go back even further to the days before gasoline powered rotary mowers, people cut their yards with a push reel mower and a yo-yo or scythe for weed trimming. Now, the sides of our highways look better than yards used to look.:rolleyes:

If posted limit is 70 MPH you SAVE 7.8 mins for 100 miles at 77MPH.
Hope you are not texting and talking on the phone also.

but if he was driving 500 miles he'd save almost 40 min. and if he'd bump his speed up to 85 he save almost 1hr and 20 min :)
Speed doen't kill but you are right the inattentive driver texting and taking pictures is a no no.

I do not text at all :thumbsup:

I actually took about 14 pics total, & those five are the only ones that happened to come out somewhat centered ... which is what you get when you're watching where you're driving.
