Wind!
Last night was very windy! I have never been blown around quite so much as driving the van last night after Chairo's rather awesome party. Me and Pepe gave two furs a ride home to San Fran and San Bruno. Going up 880 and then over the Bay Bridge into San Francisco was pretty sketchy. It was about 4:00 am and the wind and driving rain made staying in one lane challenging with wind probably in the 40 mph range, with even faster gusts. The van's heat simply failed to work! I think the relatively exposed exhaust heater boxes were being cooled off to fast from he heavy wind and rain. The thermostat is broken so the engine is always being maximally cooled. I am not sure if that motor ever got up to operating temp last night. I'm just glad we made it home safely. Last night was about as bad as driving weather gets around here, or at least as bad as it gets without fog.
