They had a not well advertised meeting about the build Nebraska projects last week in McCook. Sounds like they are figuring on expanding 83, there's been surveyors out all week. 80 miles from Kansas to i80, 140 or so miles from Kansas to US 283, 10,000 square miles in this corner of the state and the earth's axis apparently runs through McCook. 83 and 18 were the only projects the district engineer and manager could come up with. They've obviously never gone north out of Cambridge or counted the trucks that go through the ethanol plant in a day.
They still think that a town that effectively banned new housing development for 25 years, in a county of 11,000, with 3% unemployment, is going to attract a large enough plant to create enough traffic to justify turning 83 into an interstate. These are the same people who will pass you when you're doing 70 and walk away like you're parked. They also don't realize that even at the peak of the drilling in North Dakota, the steady stream of oilfield freight and workers wasn't enough traffic to justify an upgrade, and no one in their right mind going east, or to Denver and points west, is going to go to North Platte to hit the Interstate.
I think the last point is why people are running 80-85 mph. Trying to make up the time it takes to cover the extra 70 miles they added by being impatient about getting to the interstate.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
