Masks that got all sweaty when you breathe and the elastic that would get tangled in your hair - but of course we would pull other people’s masks and snap them in their faces
Remember when you could wear your Halloween costume at school all day long? Just sitting there working on multiplication with your face sweating in 145 degree heat under a mask full of cancer-causing chemicals. Nothing like it.
HEAT & DROUGHT CAN DAMAGE KC AREA HOMES
Update Friday, September 4
- Our region is being monitored for flash drought
- Heat waves often come with reduced rain. We haven’t had any in 2 weeks. We don’t have much in the forecast
- Our soil is expansive clay. It swells when wet and contracts when dry
- Dry stretches cause the soil near the foundation to pull away from the foundation everywhere but directly under. This puts strain on the edges.
- It also causes gaps around the base of your house. When it rains next, water is funneled next to the foundation. Great hydrostatic pressure can crack the concrete
- BUT THERE’S AN EASY FIX: water around your house. Keep the soil moist next to the foundation to limit risk and prevent cracks. Yes it increases the water bill, but it may be far cheaper than foundation repair

A 4-year-old boy whose father left him, stood outside every single day for months waving at strangers... just hoping somebody would say hi back, in North Carolina.
Then one neighbor walked across the street to meet him.
Now an ENTIRE NEIGHBORHOOD shows up for his soccer games, his swim lessons, his birthday parties.
Roman Butzlaff is 4 years old, from Concord NC, just outside Charlotte.
His mom says he wakes up every single morning excited to say "hi" to somebody. It's the very first thing he wants to do.
But behind that big smile was a hurting little heart. His parents split about a year ago and his dad moved away.
Then a neighbor named Wade Fulgum did the simplest, most powerful thing in the world.
He just walked across the street... and met the little boy who was always waving at him.
And it spread.
Now about a DOZEN neighbors, people who barely knew each other's names, show up for Roman's soccer games.
His basketball games. His swimming lessons. Even his preschool open house. His birthday party guest list was basically a map of the block.
One neighbor said it best: "If the world was like this child, what an awesome, awesome place it would be."
Explain to me why my “credit rating” goes down because I paid a credit card nearly off and am not spending as much. The opposite happened when I carried a balance for a few months. It went up 100 points. Hey credit bureaus, I think you’re a scam
