Monday blues

Greetings all.
It's been a couple of days. But its finally nasty hot out, around 100, more like a typical Kansas summer.
It is really hot, but I rather like hot weather. If I had to choose, I'd rather it be 100 then 35 and wind.

It has been really slow news-wise lately. Just the dog-days of summer. People are either still on vacation, or having returned, are recovering. No one wants to do much of anything, so its just a slow time of year.

We have had to scramble for any kind of news story to put in the paper. The paper must come out, whether we have enough to fill it or not :)
Of course, this time of year, stories take longer too because there is not so much hard news available, so we end up with less stories.

It's not just us. Have you noticed the Eagle out of Wichita lately?

Also various people at the paper have been on vacation, which is another good excuse to use:).

Football season is about here, and fall is approaching. Life will start getting busy soon enough, so I'm just going to enjoy the slow days while I can.

The Walnut Valley Festival is also fast approaching. That will be followed by lots of other festivals and events, leading all the way to Christmas.

City Commission meets this week and there should be some good things - or at least interesting things - coming out of that.

(Be sure to check out the music festival blog.)
peace
