Parked car overheating due to high ambient temps

I came outside to find the hazard lights blinking on my Polestar 2 (2024), which I haven't driven since yesterday. The dashboard displayed a "Cooling infotainment system" message, but the infotainment system was still functioning. There weren't any fans running on the car. I was able to turn off the hazards by just pressing the button on the center console. I'm surprised that they were activated. Must related to the extremely high temps in my area (around 95F degrees in the Greater New York City area). I rolled down the windows and moved the car to a shady spot in my driveway.

Brussels was more than I expected

Thanks Goose for scheduling a show in a city that I never had on my list, but am forever grateful for visiting. Brussels had much more to offer than I expected. Not sure my brain has yet to recover from riding an e-bike across cobblestones for a couple hours on Monday, but when it does I hope it retains some memories of the Magritte Museum, the Jazz Festival in the Grand Place, the Cathedral of St. Gudula (it took 700 years to build!), buckets of mussels from Chez Leon (really, all of the food we had was very delicious), the street musicians everywhere, the chocolate, the waffles, the Smurfs, the graffiti and of course the little old bronze boy pissing at the passing tourists, the perfect expression of "Belgianness."
