Not sure how you’re Monday started, but mine started with a can of blueberry-lemonade sparking water exploding all over me. Well, at least I smell fresh and fruity. While that may not be trending, here are 5 THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW
1. If you had Hurri-Quake on your 2023 bingo card – congratulations. Hilary made land fall in Southern California over the weekend with life threatening flooding, only to be joined in southern California by a 5.1 magnitude earthquake.
2. Losing power in this kind of heat is no joke – but that’s what happened in SW Wichita yesterday. The Red Cross quickly opened a cooling station and according to the latest Evergy Map, there are just a small handful of people waiting to get their power back
3. Delays are in your future – starting today, Eastbound and Westbound Kellogg between Maize Rd and 119th will be reduced to 1 lane in both directions for a concrete repair and paving project that is expected to last about 3 months
4. Russia’s return to the moon for the first time in 47 years did not go as planned. The crashed their expensive moon module on the moon’s surface during the landing attempt. The person in charge of the landing was apparently not using their phone in hands free mode – see, this is what happens when you text and drive

5. And singer Ed Sheeran surpised fans at a Lego store in Minnesota over the weekend pulling a shift as a “Brick Specialist” – yellow apron and all. He spent time interacting with fans, signing autographs and he discovered he could hit a new high note when he accidentally stepped on a lego piece barefoot.
