Hot asphalt

"The Buick's air conditioner isn't cooling much", I told Dave at Goodyear. "Not at all?", he asked. "Not nearly enough to drive across Kansas", I replied. Dave spoke from personal experience when he said the only way to get any relief on that drive is to get your clothes soaking wet, roll down all the windows, and drive over eighty m.p.h., preferably at night. This is not a particularly appealing visual image for a woman of my AARP age, although it might have been fun in the mid-Seventies! I had Goodyear add lots of freon instead.
