More important than the recorded temperature, temperatures inside cars would have been far higher. My home here on long island is nicely shaded by trees, the lute inside it has not self-destructed even without aid of a/c in spite of recent weeks when recorded temps exceeding 100 F held for several days. Interior temps were mid 90's at times. Pretty sure its the car parked in the parking lot whose interior easily gets over 120 that was the culprit; that, and the black-fabric covered case left in direct sun by a window or on the sidewalk while packing/unpacking. -- Dana Emery To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
