| usual procedure is to remove the coat and drink cool water to keep cool. The sunshine roof on 1BIV is a misnomer. Its sole function so far has been to direct a blast of air at -5°F or less onto the back of my neck for 800 miles. I have now such a chronic cold that I am rectifying the trouble by gluing it up solid. My sight is suffering from this cold, this evening I ran over a large yellow traffic signal, fortunately it was of the mobile variety but it took a Cop some little time to extricate it | ||
