temperature gauge question and a/c

[Danton J.A. Cardoso]

You know the theories/hypotheses that some of you have been posting
are great and wonderful, but it is not answering my question!!  Geez,
so I run the air for a 3-4 mile drive.  You know how HOT black leather
gets!?!?!?!?!?  The car sits outside when I am at work, if it was
covered, then I would not run it.  So, will someone post an
intelligent answer to my question?  God, this is like a Monday morning
quarterback session, or a hot stove league.  We can
hypothesize/theorize about the idea of running AC at a later time, I
just want to know if my car is all right with what has been happening.
