Shrug, there are also people who spend more than 15 minutes in their vehicles.

Shocking, I know.
Some also have to take into account the area others live in. 7-8 months out of the year we never go out without a tumbler of water here. Even in the spring and fall the temps might not be that high but we have very low humidity, usually around 12%-15% so you get dehydrated very fast.

Corporate drone. Dilbert's world is alive & well.
Criminals will steal them, record the code numbers off the back. Carefully repackage then return them to the shelf.
After the Cashier activates the card, the criminal can steal their monetary value before the customer has a chance use it.
Perfect example of why I have always said that one way to justify homicide is to kill a thief. Man I hate people who steal.

That's one thing I do miss about FL, the winters are much warmer than here. Current temp here is 39*. ?

We drink Rocky Mtn spring water from creeks and streams... I trust modern technology gets the pea streams out before we drink...
Nothing better than at the source of a spring with no risks of ag runoff upstream. Rivers in low country has many discharge points upstream to contaminate. E-coli fecal hits too common down here but any water plant can sterilize that with Chlorination/dechlorination to make safe to drink. I would drink from a clean river if I was thirsty enough. Having filter or Iodine tabs a bonus to kill geardia. Worst case scenario is bad case of the shits. LoL
They are talking 9d adding UV to our plant and doubling our membrane output to phase out our lime plant... I prefer the lime plants water, but they don't ask me. LOL
Sounds like the old timers and moonshiners like that lime water too

Humidty is about 100%

I am drenched with sweat walking from The car to the store... I can't wait to move somewhere cooler, like Colorado. LOL

I can't do really high humidity anymore but here it's just to dry most of the time. What's such a shocker is it was just in the mid-upper 90's about a month ago we don't get a gradual transition into fall (or spring) anymore.

My only complaint of the cup holders I guess is anything tall will get in the way when I shift into reverse, but that's what the door pocket cup holder is for.

They grip onto soda cans or my coffee tumbler just fine.

Ha, in 92-93 when Ford was doing a minor design on the T Bird, they came to California for design input and ended up taking back like 10 big gulp cups from 7-Eleven, (32 ounce) the 94 Birds had one big and one small cup holder, so Ford has got it right in the past.

I would be happy if at least the one in the door was bigger, they are all the same size, too small!!

I had to get a smaller water bottle, just dumb, designers only drink from Starbucks cups?

Interesting you say that Dave - I've noticed the last couple of years we haven't really been getting a spring or fall - it goes straight from wet/cold to hot and dry here in the spring and then in the fall it went from hot/dry to wet and cold. We even had SNOW in October!

Crazy weather....

I'll just bring std water bottles to fit the small console cup holders.

When I first bought my house here we had great spring and fall weather. My mom was just saying she could remember being here in mid February and it was warm in the upper 70's. Even back in 2016 I had an election party and we were all outside in shorts and t shirts until 1:00am and it was comfortable. Now it's way colder and the days don't really warm up much until about 3:00 pm just in time for the sun to start setting. Oh well it must be global cooling. ?
