Kansas City is now coping with a heatwave that's already killed one old lady.
Accordingly, we'd like to offer just a few of our cowtown warm weather observsations:
- Kansas City ladies wearing fewer clothes is nice but it's also hard to get used to smelling people.
- Po'folks who aren't senior citizens or puppies are just out of luck when it comes to getting help beating the heat - I'm surprised how many people I know who don't A/C.
- Accordingly, this time of year offers another look at our dystopian future with the middle-class pretty much trapped in A/C offices and nicer cars while the po'folks sweat it out.
And so . . . Here are some Kansas City links regarding the heat:

I don't mean to sound heartless, but every year the local news and various agencies are beating the bushes for donations of fans and window ACs. What in the world happens to the donated items from the years before?! We have AC..we also have some fans in our home. We have not replaced fans in our home for years. Guess why?, we don't throw them away or sell them at the end of the summer...
