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.  (-:
