Feeling Hot?

2013 International Festival 2

If so, there's good reason. At the end of a surprisingly mild summer St. Louis is back in the boiler. High temps this week are in the upper 90s F., roughly 35 - 37 C. 

These young volunteers were peddling drinks at the International Festival. They don't look old enough to sell the beer and margarita mix I see on the table. When I asked the young lady in the top pic whether she was a Yankees fan, as I was when young, she told me they were all given the hats just that morning. Couldn't whoever was buying at least have given them St. Louis Cardinals caps? After last night's action, our beloved Cards have moved back into first place in their division.

    Young people these days -- sacrilegious. Besides, they would sell a lot more with the proper garb.

  2. That happens here too Bob, just when you think the heat of summer is over..wham! It's a bit the opposite here today, we've only got two weeks left of winter and up until now its been pretty mild.. cold and miserable today and for the rest of the week, go figure!

  3. They do look a bit too young. And so many Yankees caps... you'd wonder if the Yankees are trying to corrupt Cards fans from within...

  4. Yankee caps. Grrr. Cardinal or Sox hats would be appropriate.
