Heard this on channel 12 (WWBT Richmond) News this morning (I was home nursing a bum knee):
"The heat wave raises the risk of small children being left in hot cars."
Actually, it doesn't. It raises the risk for small children who are left in hot cars, but it may actually make people think twice about leaving their children in the car, and thus may actually reduce the risk of children being left in hot cars.
That was my take. Comments?

For you are crunchy, and good with mustard.
