Well, it's finally here, the dog days of summer. After being spoiled in July by relatively mild temperatures and a lot of rain here in central Kansas, August is starting off with a sizzle. Temperatures have hovered at or slightly above 100 degrees the past couple of days. Couple that with our high humidity, and we have been baking!! Heat indexes have been 105 - 110 degrees. Yikes!!Brian had football camp last week, and the last couple of days of it were brutal. Luckily, nobody got too sick from it. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, right???
Our annual Marion County Relay For Life to benefit the American Cancer Society was held Friday night. Temperatures were right at 100 degrees at the start of it, but cooled down "nicely" into the upper 80's by midnight. We raised a record $50,000+ this year!! Pretty good for a small county like ours. Let's hope that someday soon, all the efforts to find a cure will pay off. What a hideous, brutal, unfair disease!!
Back to summer....the weather forecasters say that this heat wave is supposed to break in a couple of days, and we'll be back to more "normal" temperatures in the lower 90's. After the past few days, those temperatures will feel like fall!!
Stay cool!!
