The longest day of the year is coming in 10 days. There’s a lot of sunlight, which creates a greenhouse effect inside your car, even with partially opened windows. It’s gets hot and humid in the car when you are in the store. Pets can suffer from heatstroke. If you absolutely must to go into a store for an emergency, make it five minutes or less &045;&160;like at the gas station. On an 85 degree day, the temperature inside your car, with the windows slightly opened, will reach 102 degrees in 10 minutes. In 30 minutes, 120 degrees.

U.S. 69 stretches from Texas Highway 87 in Port Arthur, Texas, to Minnesota Highway 13 in Albert Lea. That’s 1,136 miles. Hmm. We wonder if he had the time to jog around Fountain Lake and enjoy the view.
