Right lane, keep an eye on the mirror. The coast down, the steady state, the minimum distance, the two parts, are all important.

Friends had a long ride planned for the mountains tomorrow but canceled because it's supposed to be cold, windy, and maybe wet up at 8000 feet. My back hurts anyway so I don't know what I can do.

Porsche guys are my favorites. The techs at the dealer refuse to ask for advice, so that leaves the service advisor to try and be the go-between. One youngster told me I was full of **** after I tried to explain readiness monitors to him, and if the tech would just run the short test, that would do the work for him. I let him know it's no skin off my back. My car has plates. He called back a few days later to apologize. I let him know he was in a bad spot, being between a prima donna that thinks he knows everything, and a prima donna that even knows how to get a Porsche through the program.
The drivers? You can spend time driving it, or you can spend money running the monitors with the scan tool. Neither option is satisfactory to them.

The cicadas have designated our patio as a place to come and die, especially right outside the door. They sort-of stick to the ground and fall apart if you try to broom them away.

Everyone doing 80 is better than everyone doing 80 except for the guy doing 60.

Fixed.
I'm not doing anything on I-17. I'm driving the speed limit (sometimes below) on a short stretch of I-75/40.

101 (The 101, for the SoCal types), 70 is normal except when it's stop and go. 280 (again, The 280 for Southlanders), everyone's going 75-80. Few go more than that. It's like the Unwritten Law.

I often feel more threatened in the car driving to a ride start than I do on the ride.

You don't? I've read posts that suggest otherwise.
