A Reporter's Life


Heat

As most Americans know, it's been really, really, really hot lately. Of course, this is July so we shouldn't be especially surprised -- unless you're my slightly off-balance neighbor who insists that July has never, ever, ever been this hot.

This is when reporters cringe because they're probably going to be assigned the dreaded weather story. I had one editor who loved those things so much that I could actually recognize his "I have an idea for a weather story!" look. And then I could run, mumbling something about breaking news on the police scanner.

As it turns out, that editor was not the only one. Such things happen to Philadelphia reporters, too.
