It's been WELL over 100 for going on 3 straight weeks here in Kansas City.
I have a new take on global warming. It's real, it's happening, but.....so what? Life is amazingly adaptable. The other day it cooled off to 101, so my buddies and I went out side and played basketball for 2 hours. Ask a long time resident of Phoenix if 100 degrees is "hot"...might get a funny answer. The world is adapting to a knew, hotter reality. I went outside the other morning, it was 6:35 AM, and it was 86 degrees...and I got a little chill. Darn cool mornings! Life goes on.
