What To Say About A Heat Wave
Let's put it this way: the number of emails we're getting about hot weather coverage is shooting up as fast as the temperature around here! I love email, because it lets all of us sound off on anything we want to, 24/7.
The sounds we're hearing right now? Well, 'twobears' wants us to stop saying anything more than we've said about the heat:
"I personally do not think that 105 degrees is excessive heat."
Hmmm. I'm wondering if 'twobears' just moved here from Phoenix.
Maria's email asked us to say more about carrying your pet when it's so hot: "PLEASE DO AN ANIMAL A FAVOR by alerting everyone that the sidewalks are as hot for the animals, especially dogs, as it is for our feet."
Businesses and PR people email endless story ideas with a hot weather or 'stay cool' twist. An example: "Come to the World Forestry Discovery Museum where the air is cool and the exhibits are too." Notice the weather tie in?
As the weather heads into record territory the next few days, I'm sure there will be more emails on the way. If you have something to say, you know where to find me:
Enjoy the heat!
