I've lived most of my life north of 45 degrees. I realize many European 
cities are further north but on the North American continent 40 C would be 
very unusual. 

I think it hit 35 today and it seldom gets higher. I was reading outside 
and at about 2030 I was getting a little chilly and came inside. It's a 
semi-arid climate so when the sun goes down so does the temperature. It's 
be about 12 tonight. 'It's a dry heat' as they say.

When I lived back east there were times when I wished I had A/C when I had 
to go south. Even if the temperature isn't extreme the humidity make you 
wish you had gills. With one trip in a company van that had vinyl seats I 
more or less came down with diaper rash. No fun.

Other than a recall for the Toyota exploding air bag model I've never had 
them deploy. A snowplow turned into my lane an totaled the car but it was 
only about 20 mph and the glancing blow wasn't sufficient to trigger them.

I think the first family car with seat belts was in '65.  Seat belts just 
like a race car! Considering they were only lap belts they may have been 
worse than no belt.  The best thing they were good for was keeping you 
from sliding across the bench seat during spirited cornering. My 
girlfriend knew what was coming when I told her to buckle up.
