Do you believe . . .


The Camry is not a mode of transportation so much as it is a mobile thermometer. One-hundred-and-three-degrees, day before yesterday. When I came home, J said to me that, after all, this is August. You'd expect it to be hot.

Yes, you would. But I think I was better off not knowing exactly how hot it really gets in our immediate vicinity.

Maybe, if we could get the car to fib like the weather people do: Report, say, a few degrees lower . . .

Yes, I noticed the weather information on my phone changes in percentage of rain. First, 30 percent was changed to 60 percent for the same 2 pm hour, same day too. The temperature outside felt warmer that 91 degrees. Next, week reads 60 percent chance of rain. Well see about that.

Your car tells you how hot it is? I have to give my car that information myself. I roll down a window and say, "Grief, it's hot outside!" Then the car knows. I never tell it exactly how hot it is. Car might think it was funny to see the human walking in the heat to find assistance. Car knows exactly where the cellular signals are located so it can stop in a dead area, too. My car is not as well trained as your car. Camry, hmmmm?
