Get involved now...
Hot summer is here.. Stupid people are already cooking there kids..
Today's news: 2 year old left in car for better part of the day.. Cooked to death..
Don't be a lazy wad.. Park away from the store and walk.. Watch for kids in cars dying.. See a kid in a closed car, Call the cops.. If the kid looks like they are in trouble.. Bust the fucking windows..
Same go's for dogs.. If you bust the window keep the tire iron handy.. You may have to adjust the owner.. Always call the cops first.. If the owner comes out a drives away.. Get the number the police will follow up.. Take a picture with your cell phone..
Wouldn't you love to be a life saving hero??

Damn right! It's your civic duty!
People leave the car thinking the car is cool because the AC was on during the drive, but then it heats up very quickly -- shorter than the "only a moment" bullshit excuses people make -- resulting extremely hot conditions that can result in death. There was a local news story where the reporter wanted to see how long he could survive in a hot car like that (with medical personnel around to supervise). He lasted about 10 minutes, and was completely delirious and nearly collapsed by the time they hauled him out. Imagine that for a child or animal. It can get to 160 degrees in there depending on the day.
On a more morbid note: my family would take bets on how many children and pets will be left in hot cars each summer. There are different guesses for whether the victim dies or is found and survives. Last year was a big total, with 5 or so dying in the first month. Not a good thing.

I was hoping to use my closed up car on the Playa as an incubator for my yogurt culture each day. Inoculate the scalded milk in the morning, let the heat do it's thing during the day and then by the next morning it would be cool again. Eat and gift fresh yogurt each day? Good idea or bad?
The next morning you will wake up pretty much your old self except that a very unusual 16 hours will have been added to your store of life experience.

Even with all 4 windows lowered about 2 inches, this car got 4 degrees hotter than I've ever felt in my life.

Re: Get involved now...
This is an excellent video! I show it to all my clients (I'm an animal trainer), and posted it on my blog. This thread is also great, I always look in car windows when I go to the store or mall for this exact reason. Keep an eye out and you may save a life!!Savannah wrote:Even with all 4 windows lowered about 2 inches, this car got 4 degrees hotter than I've ever felt in my life.
