My heart breaks for all the poor little babies and children left in cars on summer days. The latest I've heard about was in Helotes, TX, not that far away...an employee of a store forgot to drop his baby off at daycare and went into work early this morning. At a little after 3 p.m. someone noticed the baby in the car and called police. Too late to help the baby, it was a hot sunny day, triple digit. People are absent-minded, I know. I'm ADD, have forgotten many things, not a child in a hot car thank goodness! My niece, a teacher and mother of two, uses one method of making sure...after putting children in the car, one of her shoes is placed back seat, also. Not many people would walk away from the car with only one shoe on. I don't even want to know how hot a closed car can get after a whole day that gets up to triple digit temps!

I would feel more optimistic about a bright future for man if he spent less time proving that he can outwit Nature and more time tasting her sweetness and respecting her seniority. E. B.White
