Summer

It's not exactly breaking news that it was super hot over the last week, but the heatwave did shatter a number of Missouri all-time weather records that have now been confirmed by the National Weather Service.

I could use some, because... well. I have been bitten from head to toe and back again this year.

They're making stops all over town, so if you're worried about the kids wandering off too far, it's okay.

So what if you're in that position? What if you have AC but it's busted, or if your house only has a tiny window unit, or even no central air at all? There are, in fact, a few things you can do to help alleviate the situation.

A bunch of websites claim you can beat the heat and get to sleep faster by leaving your sheets in the FREEZER for 30 minutes before bed.

I'll try to explain it simple so I understand it. I'm no doctor, you know.

The last thing most of us think about is where we're going to get our next meal but many kids after school is out for the summer have to think about it daily. While school's in session, they can be assured there will be food available for them at their school and a lot of times they will be able to take something home with them each evening and on Friday for the weekend.

Is there a restaurant in town that makes the best in house? Is there a brand you like to make at home from the store?

Some grills have gauges on them that tell you how much is left. But if yours doesn't, there's still an easy way to figure it out before you start cooking.

It's not just in our local area, Worlds of Fun in Kansas City is also feeling the pinch of staffing shortages as they cut back their days of operation this summer.
