Does your wife know that you're out cavorting with Floris?
Shortly after we moved to coastal SoCal from Colorado, I took a Coast Highway thrill ride in the first part of a big Pacific winter storm, when it was still mostly just wind. Exhilarating!
Then I got to the dip where the highway comes down to sand level at South Ponto Beach. Hadn't figured blowing sand into the equation.

There were already drifts across the road. And within seconds, eyes, ears, nose, and mouth were all full of sand. Turned tail to wash out my eyes at home. Lesson learned.
