Thank you, Gealii. Another thing to test - I love it!!! And this is a handy time of year to find just the right leaf!! LOL.

You know, when I got up this morning, I thought DUH!! - when a car drives on a wet road, there is a tremendous amount of spray that comes up. (I know this too well from being a surveyor standing alongside the road and witnessing this many wet times) But if you apply a little "obvious" physics, it takes energy to pump all that water into that spray - and the energy comes from the car - - energy that probably would be pumping water if there was no water, huh?
