Best (And Worst) States To Drive In -- WalletHub -- March 14, 2020

I've said any number of times on the blog that I love the Texas highways.

Two years ago, Texas was ranked #1 by some site as the best state in the US for driving on its roads. Looking for a more recent update, here it is, WalletHub, January 21, 2020. The top five:
  • Iowa
  • Tennessee
  • North Caroline
  • Texas
  • Nebraska
Others of note:
  • North Dakota: 28
  • Minnesota: 27
  • Montana: 41
  • California: 47
  • Hawaii: 50
  • Colorado: 46

Closing the Loop

Someone asked: if everything has been canceled, why were the students allowed to take the SAT test at Lewisville (Texas) high school today. The official reason: not one diagnosed case of coronavirus in Denton County, Texas. So, there you have it. In addition, although it was not a factor per se, there were less than 150 students taking the test. It should be noted that, to the best of my knowledge, there has been no statewide closure of schools. School closures are still being done on a case-by-case basis.

Also, to the best of my knowledge, Beto O'Rourke has not yet been given the authority to take guns away from law-abiding citizens of Texas. Including AR-47s. Or whatever it was he said.
