   That is all too often the case with people who like beer.  I'm allergic to it   
   now, but I will drink a small glass of Chardonnay about once a year.

   Maybe I could have worded it better.  The actual outside temp was about 86F   
   and the inside was 101F because the Sun heated up the metal of the car.  I   
   discovered the trunk is a great place to put a new loaf of bread.  It comes   
   out so fresh it'll slap you.  (-:
