Is there a huge story out there being missed by the media:

My Dad is hooked on the weather channel. He recalls a few years back when Chicago had a heat wave, and bodies ended up stacked in the morgue. Where are the stories of people dying from this summer's heat? Is it a case of one death here, two deaths there of elderly people or persons with a chronic illness? That seems to be more likely than that every municipality suddenly set up cooling centers.

As I write this, it occurs to me that within the next few weeks we'll be seeing at least one story of a kid dying after football practice. That seems to have become a routine story the last few summers.

1. there are a million huge stories being missed by the media. instead we get shit about romney's

dog, kardashians, how teachers are ruining education, and other useless crap.

2. There have been stories on the teevee that asserted due to the low humidity

during the heatwave the heat index and the death count was lower

I think you are probably correct in thinking there will be stories of heat stroke in kids at football practice.

3. My son's practices are held at 6pm here in FL.

And the coaches keep them watered for the 2 hrs they are out there.
