Blast from the Past

I stepped outside the Rescue Mission at 4:30 this afternoon, and when I was immediately hit with a stifling hot breeze, I felt as though I had been transported back to Kansas. The actual temperature was about 95 degrees, but the heat index was 106 degrees. We have always poo-pooed Michiganders who start complaining about the heat once the temperature hits 80, so today you know what it's like in Kansas for most of the summer. I guess we can consider this preparation for our upcoming trip. Yes, we are slightly spoiled by the Michigan summers...most of the time, that is.
