Blam!

Anyone doubting the heat around here need only look at my steering wheel - the can of Dr. Pepper in my back seat exploded sometime this afternoon, spilling most of its contents onto the seat, but giving a good spraying to the wheel and the backs of the front seats, as well. According to various sources, that indicates that the temp in my back seat hit at least 145° F (60° C) today. Yikes!
