Good thing this didn't happen on your recent trip to Palm Springs.
Yea, I was thinking about that. I drove through areas of New Mexico were there was maybe one car in 30 minutes going the other way. Very remote areas.

I went into Joshua tree National Park and drove for 30 minutes before I saw any other humans. Overall very few people out there, and I was alone most of the time.

The one thing that makes me feel better, is I never felt even slightly dizzy even once on that 10 day trip as I was up and about the entire time, it was 17 steps up into my room. My room was a 12 minute walk at a very brisk pace from the restaurants or meeting rooms. I got a lot of walking in, and never an issue.

On Sunday I did some tinkering on the charging system of my El Camino. There was some corrosion hidden under the contacts for the positive side causing an occasional no start issue. I figured it out, cleaned it up, and even with the AC in the garage, I was sweating a lot.

Then I sat on my butt in front of my computer and did my company books, and surfed Pelican. Just sitting and watching a movie and standing up fast made me dizzy and I ignored the dizzy feeling and went for an apple as a snack, trying to keep doctors away. I never got my apple, and I was surrounded by doctors! It must work.
