Watch out. Ken might take that as a challenge.
As we know from Summer 2008, Ken has a heavy foot with driving.
For those who are curious about the math, the speed of light is (in science classes) c = 3 x 108 m/s. I always learned it as 186,000 miles per second. Since there are 3600 seconds in an hour, that would be just shy of 670 million miles per hour (allowing for rounding errors).
So 67 mph is 1/10,000,000th of the speed of light.
The background is from photo I took on an apple-picking trip in upstate New York about a decade or so ago.
