Did you have to look that up in order to prove him wrong? Haha

What? You don't have sunrises and sunsets memorized for every city in Texas on the first day of summer?

No, border to border on 20 is much further, and good luck going 60 through Dallas on 20

ETA actually both come out to 860ish miles. Hmm didnt know that

Not being able to do 60 through Dallas is no biggie, you can legally do 75 or 80 on most of the rest of the run. I-10 has the same issue through Houston and San Antonio.

Of course I looked it up - I don't have the whole world memorized.
