Dear Miami Fans,

Welcome to Kansas City.

We're in the middle of America. We have hearts of gold. We get 4 seasons of weather. It rains, it snows. It gets windy. It gets hot, it gets perfect and sometimes tornado sirens go off. We love our town, our people, our culture and we have a ton of great food options. Our lifestyle is simpler, a little slower at times and for us, it works.

In January, which is often referred to as a winter month, it can get cold here. Last year we had some days in the 70s...this week we get snow. And cold.

The Dolphins and Chiefs play an outdoor sport in the elements. Fans, who live in these elements, know how to adjust. Just like early-season games can be hot in Miami, late-season games in the Midwest can be cold. Both have advantages to the resident team.

The modern technology of today will keep the players quite warm. The older generation of players didn't have luxuries of today (or the tech) but they found a way to play the game. The modern technology of today will keep FANS quite warm. Of course, so will bourbon, Fireball and other home-grown remedies.

For fans bitching about the weather, you can lick a frozen pole for all I care. In fact, lick your hands first, grab said frozen pole, then stick your tongue on the frozen pole.

That should silence some of the dumbest takes that have been published on Twitter-X over the past 24 hours.

In other words, get over it. Get over yourselves.

And Welcome to Kansas City.

Seeing some discourse on best pop tart flavor and the answer is obviously Wild Berry:

-Most aesthetically pleasing tart matching it’s complex, exotic flavor

-Purple like the Cats

-Wild like the Cats

Case closed.

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

"I was waiting in line for a ride at the airport. When a cab pulled up, the first thing I noticed was the taxi was polished to a bright shine. Smartly dressed in a white shirt, black tie, and freshly pressed black slacks, the cab driver jumped out and rounded the car to open the back passenger door for me.
He handed me a laminated card and said, 'I'm Wasu, your driver. While I'm loading your bags in the trunk, I'd like you to read my mission statement.'

Taken aback, I read the card. It said, 'Wasu's Mission Statement: To get my customers to their destination in the quickest, safest, and cheapest way possible in a friendly environment.'

This blew me away. Especially when I noticed the inside of the cab matched the outside. Spotlessly clean!
As he slid behind the wheel, Wasu said, 'Would you like a cup of coffee? I have a thermos of regular and one of decaf.'

I said jokingly, 'No, I'd prefer a soft drink.'

Wasu smiled and said, 'No problem. I have a cooler up front with regular and Diet Coke, lassi, water, and orange juice.'

Almost stuttering, I said, 'I'll take a lassi since I’ve never had one before.'

Handing me my drink, Wasu said, 'If you'd like something to read, I have Good Housekeeping magazine, Reader’s Digest, The Bible, and a Travel + Leisure magazine.'

As we were pulling away, Wasu handed me another laminated card, 'These are the stations I get and the music they play, if you'd like to listen to the radio.'
And as if that weren't enough, Wasu told me he had the heater on and asked if the temperature was comfortable for me.

Then he advised me of the best route to my destination for that time of day. He also let me know he'd be happy to chat and tell me about some of the sights or, if I preferred, to leave me with my own thoughts.

'Tell me, Wasu,' I was amazed and asked him, 'have you always served customers like this?'

Wasu smiled into the rear view mirror. 'No, not always. In fact, it's only been in the last two years. My first five years driving, I spent most of my time complaining like all the rest of the cabbies do. Then I heard about power of choice one day.'

'Power of choice is that you can be a duck or an eagle. If you get up in the morning expecting to have a bad day, you'll rarely disappoint yourself. Stop complaining! Don't be a duck. Be an eagle. Ducks quack and complain. Eagles soar above the crowd.'

'That hit me right,' said Wasu. He continued and said, 'It is about me. I was always quacking and complaining, so I decided to change my attitude and become an eagle. I looked around at the other cabs and their drivers. The cabs were dirty, the drivers were unfriendly, and the customers were unhappy. So I decided to make some changes. I put in a few at a time. When my customers responded well, I did more.'

'I take it that has paid off for you,' I said.

'It sure has,' Wasu replied. 'My first year as an eagle, I doubled my income from the previous year. This year, I'll probably quadruple it. My customers call me for appointments on my cell phone or leave a message on it.'

Wasu made a different choice. He decided to stop quacking like ducks and start soaring like eagles. I hope we all decide to soar like an eagle and not quack like a duck."

Teachers should all have the same behavior rules, enforced the same at a grade level. To be effective, they need to work as a team. No school or grade level should have the "hero teacher," the "cool teacher," the "rebel teacher," or the "burnout teacher."

Q: What are attendance questions?

A: "Instead of calling students’ names and having them respond 'here,' you ask students a daily question to get to know them and their personal interests," says T thetownieteacher (on IG):
