Well my dad used to drive a big old utility van. You know the kinds that painters use. The back end is unfinished. It's great for rods but bad for passengers.

So, as many of you know, I was a freshwater fisherman before I switched to the Saltwater thing. One of my favorite fish are trout. They fight pretty well on light tackle. Well the tackle shop worms weren't doing well. The trout wouldn't touch them. I started collecting my own nightcrawlers at night. I could get about 3 dozen a night. I had them in the back of the van in a coffee can. I keep some dirt in there too. Well I had used just about all the crawlers and I threw the tin in the back. When I went to get my gear that night, the tin had fallen on it's side and rolled up underneath the passenger's seat.

Dad drove the van to work the next day. That afternoon he came home cursing and telling me to get rid of them. I opened the tin and liquid worms. It got to about 90 degrees that day and in the unfinished van, it had to be at least 110 in there. NASTY....
