It was cloudy the day we did it, and late enough in the day that I wasn't
really risking sunburn. It really got to Don that my hair would hit his
arms like little whips every so often, though. And it was a mess to deal
with after I got home. So if you have long hair, braid it or ponytail it
or tuck it into your shirt before you get out on the open highway in an
open convertible.
