Hard run

The south wind was fierce. I watched roadsigns twist on their poles and saw a few that had been blown off.

I fel the gusts hit my trailer broadside, a palpable blow that made me clutch the wheel tighter and hold the course even more steady. I didn't want to blow into the next lane.

My shoulders ache from four hours of this.

Driving to work this morning was an adventure, too. Stay safe.

Little Rock has its own challenges.

I once saw a UHaul get blown out of its lane and into mine on the eastern loop bridge.

That I-440 bridge is not safe to drive on in windy conditions. Neither is the I-430 bridge. I usually take I-30, since it's the most direct route, but if it gets jammed up, there's no where to go.
