Thick Air? Was: [Shotimes] Windshield Wipers

[David P]

Speaking of windshield wipers, I was in the middle of a three-digit romp
yesterday when my wipers, which were on the lowest intermittent setting,
started creeping up the window. They got up to about 45 degrees before I had
slowed down enough to take my hand off the wheel and hit the washer button.
They worked fine at that point. I can't imagine the wind pressure against
the blades being strong enough to move the motor. Maybe it was the
windshield-wiper ghost.
