Tonight I needed to reboot a client server running Windows Small Business Server 2003 because it locked up and I couldn’t get to it remotely.
While I was waiting for the thing to reboot, I grabbed a Snapple from the clients break room fridge. For those of you who know which client I’m speaking about, yes I did put a dollar into the donation cup.
After I finished the Snapple, I was reading the “Real Fact” that they place under the bottle cap. Here is what it said:
The speed limit in NYC was 8 mph in 1895.
That’s really interesting because roughly 111 years later the average freeway speed limit here in the United States is between 55-70 mph depending on which freeway you’re traveling on and which State.
The average speed limit on city streets is between 30-45 mph.
Thanks Snapple for “Real Fact” #153 and for my Kiwi Strawberry drink!

back in those days people weren’t in such a hurry to get anywhere…we are too rushed and too stressed these days, I think…
thanks for the great tidbit
I agree. Things really move fast these days with all the technology and people working 12-17 hour days it’s amazing we don’t all have mental breakdowns more often.
Mid August I’ll be taking 1.5 weeks off from work for a mini vacation. I will have my laptop with me because as we know, Have Laptop Will Travel, but I won’t be on it as much. Mostly checking email a couple times a day and maybe a few posts and pictures of my adventures.
