<font face="Comic Sans MS">Hi folks,<br>
<br>
It looks like a whole string of temperatures in the mid 90s coming at
us during the next several days, and upper 70s at night, so get
prepared for the heat. I was surprised last week when we started to
leave after a quick trip into the grocery store that my car wouldn't
start. Dead. Turn the key and nothing. Charlie Lyons had had the
same experience last year, and told me that when he got his battery
replaced, the employee at the automotive store told him they had
replaced 10 batteries that day! Evidently the heat is as bad on car
batteries as the cold is, if not worse! Either way, being stuck out
in extreme temperatures with a vehicle that won't go is a lousy way to
spend your time. After repeated tries at jumping the thing, where it
would start and go about half a block or less and die, we finally had
to replace the battery, and then were able to get on the road again.
What a relief! I was glad this all happened in the heart of
civilization and not out in the middle of nowhere! Makes me think it
would probably be a good idea to carry a gallon jug of water in the car
just in case.<br>
