It was 46 degrees F when I woke up in Indy this morning and it had rained all night. The weatherman indicated that it would drop down to low 20s by evening. This is sure to freeze my doors shut like the old man's Oldsmobile ("That son of a b**** would freeze up in the middle of summer on the equator!"). Last year the van froze up under similar conditions. Couldn't unlock the doors and when I finally got a key to turn they were frozen shut. So this morning I applied a liberal coat of Armor All to all the door seals and shot some lube into all the keyholes. We'll see how effective this is when I leave work this evening.
