I had to drive for a ways on a road with a 10mph speed limit today. It made me look at the speedometer and I realized that it's one of those situations where you can look at something for many years and not really see it. I 'saw' that the distance between 0 and 20 mph is considerably smaller than the distance between 20 and 40 mph. And that the distance between 20 and 25 mph is considerably further than the distance between 60 and 65 mph. As many years as I have been driving 123's I'd been thinking that the speedometer needle progressed in a linear fashion around the numbers. Apparently not.
