Teach her! It will be fun and won’t start any fights. I promise.

In all seriousness, if you do teach her just encourage her to go off of feeling, that’s what helped me. If you feel it ‘lugging’ put your foot on the clutch and shift down.

We were at 71% yesterday and 69% today. Indoor humidity is 67%, at least for me in Leschi.

It’s the proximity to water sources that makes it more bearable and seem less oppressive than other areas with higher humidity.

What’s wrong with just enjoying life and maybe believing that someone had this experience?
