In most places that are flat, there can be fearsome winds, so either it's great till you turn around, or it sucks till you turn around, or you get blown into traffic one way and blown off the road the other.
(It is windy AF here today, and I foolishly took my most wind-susceptible bike, the Bianchi. A couple times it tried to get out from under me, and I ended up pushing down on the leeward side of the bars, and one spot I had to put all my weight on the leeward pedal. Shoulda taken the Ritchey.

How can your car get dirty again in a week? I go months without washing mine.

Maybe you should see a witch doctor? In which case you truly will be @%^&ed.

Two were covered with bug splatters from the trip to A&M, one was cleaned to send off to Tulsa, and my wife's was just due a bath. Our cars get washed every week or two. Mopped the garage floor Friday night as well.

Living here where there are real hills I'm actually having to learn how to brake for turns.

With the hills here, if I only used my rear brake, I'd be dead by now, either from overcooking turns or skidding the rear wheel and in either case being run over after I went skittering across the yellow line on my side.

Live in a place with a lot of dust, and a lot of wind, and maybe trees that are all having tree sex at the same time.

I could be in a clean new sports car and I'd still be sitting at dumb stop lights half the time, or bored to tears driving the same stretch of interstate that I've done a thousand times before.

I love the caption a Casper radio station put for this video: "WATCH: Yellowstone Tourist Tries To Get Eaten 1st Day Park Opens"
