Is it just me or is anyone else tired of the constant news coverage about how hot it is? I mean really, do we need "team coverage" of the heat wave? Do I need one reporter standing in the sun and one reporter standing in front of a map with a big sun on it and then yet another reporter reporting from some air conditioned activity to tell me it's going to be hot today? Can someone, anyone, even someone who is just visiting, not walk outside and say to themselves "yep, it's freaking hot today?"
And really, is it a surprise? I've lived in Sacramento for 28 years and low and behold, every summer it gets really, really hot. So hot you might want to consider staying indoors. Even people who have lived here for only a month probably already knew it gets really, really hot in the summer in Sacramento. Do we need tv and newspapers and Internet coverage to tell us about it ad nauseam?
And what about this heat index/ air quality thing? Does it take a genius to know who the bad air is going to affect the most? Can most people with 1/2 a brain figure out that if you have compromised lung function or un-developed lungs you probably don't want to be outside when the sky looks a grainy shade of gray and it's going to be hot, really hot?
Also, who really needs the 5:00 news to tell them some possible things to do when it is hot outside. Stay inside! News story over, move on. Better yet, no news story at all! I really don't need a reporter to tell me that I could go to an indoor mall, or read a book, or visit my local library when it's hot outside. Nobody tells us what to do when it's raining. Why, because we have a brain!! Guess what channel 3, we've still got that brain in the summer!!
So my friends, today is going to be hot. Really, really hot. And tomorrow, well it might be really, really hot too. And next August, it's still going to be really, really hot here. News story over.
Loves to all.

So that bad air quality thing could cause a cough if someone were to be outside all day. Perhaps the weather people are trying to be helpful.
How hot is it in Iowa in August?
Wait! I know I know. Not as HOT as Arizona.
We will just trade off the Sac heat wave for the Arizona heat wave or the blizzard tracker in Iowa or what ever cleaver name they have for "snowy and cold...again"
