As I\'ve said, I don\'t see how \"locals\" can be ignorant of the risks!
You don\'t leave your windshield exposed (lest the steering wheel and
seat be too hot for contact).
You don\'t casually grab the handle of a shopping cart left in the parking
lot of a store -- and NEVER touch the fence surrounding the cart corral
(which has been sitting in the sun all day!).
Or, the propane tanks \"for exchange\" out in front of the store.
You don\'t walk your dog any time other than early morning (because
after sundown the sidewalk is still too hot for the pads of their paws).
And, if you\'re homeless? Don\'t lie down where the sun will cook you!
[107F, today. Still a few more weeks of this...]
