Yesterday was doing some errands. Against the wind (almost a headwind) saw the overhead cut 6-mpg in one direction . . and on the return trip saw an increase of 10-mpg over the "norm". Boy, was it quiet on the return leg. A steady 25-30 mph wind with gusts past 50-mph will do that, ha!

Small craft warning advisories for the Bay and surrounding waters is always worthy of note in reading weather forecasts, but the warnings about tall road vehicles is quite another level. One has to expect that any vehicle may wander into ones' lane, even the low and aero with prevailing side winds and gusts. Folks tend to over-correct at the wrong moment. Distractions from being lane-centered are of more serious consequence.
