Consider yourself fortunate; I guess it's not Emerald Isle for nothing ;)

Now if you were to pack up your Tranny and plop it down in good ol'
Sackatomato, California in the middle of summer, you'd wish Steven and
Thom really did have beach front property!  (or worse yet, Martha's
hometown, Redding :P )  'Course, this time of year, you'd have to get 
those foglights that Ric's lookin' for to cut through all that fog...

Speaking of Ric, he stated earlier that getting to the heat-producing
setting for the dash controls would run the compressor several seconds,
enough to lube the A/C seals; wouldn't that only be true if you actually
shut everything off at the end of your drive (slide the top control to 
the "0" or off position)?  I usually leave the top control alone and slide 
the lower temp. control to adjust comfort, and therefore would not en-
gage the compressor.  Just wondering....
