And Remember: The Temp in the car goes up 20 degrees in only 10 minutes.

a friend shared a way one of his buddies keeps track of the glasses of daily water :
each morning place 8 pennies on the windowsill above your sink (or somewhere you will see them even if you have no window)
each time you drink a glass of your 8 a day : move a penny to where the next day you will start it all over again!
Sounds like a winner!
