Summer

If you’ve ever dreamed of owning your own water park, listen up because Costco just made it weirdly possible.

It must be tiring to be constantly reminded that you aren't "normal", you'll never be "normal" the way some people define it, and it must feel like the world just doesn't care if you're not like everyone else.

With warmer-than-average weather sweeping across Illinois, residents are noticing a surge in bug and insect activity. The unseasonable temperatures have created an ideal environment for these critters to thrive, leading to an unexpected influx in homes and gardens.

You might want to sit down for this. Have you received your electric bill yet this month? My Missouri bill that was formerly somewhat manageable has just exploded. Help.

There does seem to be a bunch of them sitting around in stores right now.

Summer won't officially arrive for a couple of weeks, but the heat isn't waiting. Missouri looks to be just days away from triple digit temperatures based on new forecasts and computer models.

Not that you need a ton of information about all the new things ready to kill you, right?

I'm basically not gonna do a traditional "recipe" thing, I'm just gonna talk you through it like your Grandma did. You know she never really followed the recipe to the letter anyway.

It's not breaking news that you can expect summer to be hot in Missouri, but there are forecasts that seem to agree that the state may be about to start one of the warmest in history and it also might be one of the stormiest, too.

Anyway, it was a lot of time staring out the window, and a lot of time trying to determine if my sister had psychic powers (she had a book about ESP from the library, and had me test her).
