I'll try to intercept after I drop off my sponsee.  The Camry with the annoying yellow fog-lights following you would be me.

I replaced the headlights in my car with strobe lights, so it looks like I'm the only one moving.*

The wavelength of yellow/amber light (2500K) is longer than that of white light (5500K) and thereby makes it more ideal for fog-lamp application.  Throwing a longer beam of light lower to the ground allows greater visibility through fog which would otherwise refract light of a shorter wavelength.  <and makes dividing medians more visible at night when making left turns, for myopic sonsapregnant doges like myself>

yellow FTW!!!

Couldn't you just stick your thumb out the window as a curb feeler instead?  [cheeky]

You know what they say about a guy with a long "thumb"...

So...see everyone at Chuy's, NE corner of 32nd St. & Indian School at 7/7:30?

We'll eat, we'll joke around, we'll discuss riding routes to Mills End Cafe at the north end of Mill Ave! :)

See ya tonight!

Well ... 3 Chuy's down ... and 6 to go.

I vote for the Ahwatukee one.

They have Chuy's in Tucson too.   [evil]

I don't think the Chuy's are a problem to find no matter which city, but a decent place to get a coffee at a reasonable time seems tough call in Phoenix, and I really missed my coffee last night.
But it was good catching up with you guy's even if I did get flashed - by a camera.

Xtreme Bean seems to be pretty reliable for being open late-night (unlike lame Mills End. boo)
and apparently they have really tasty fancy coffee dessert-type drinks. :)

Here is another option for late night coffee.

We met here once for a morning ride and the place was good.
