Sometimes folks will send an email to the weather center making a request for a particular type of weather on a specific day. Along the lines of:
“Our only daughter is getting married…OUTSIDE…on Saturday and we’d like it to be sunny and 75 degrees. Please!”
and
“I have a trig exam tomorrow and haven’t had the chance to study. Could we, please, get a snow day?”
and
“My garden looks like Death Valley. How about a decent shower?”
Of course, that last comment, regarding a “decent shower,” is suggested to me on a regular basis and it has nothing to do with weather.
The other day I got a request for this Sunday’s weather: “I’d like it to be about 95 degrees with a heat index around 110 at 9:00 in the morning!”
It is understandable that Scott Beck would want that to happen. He is the director of the 3rd Annual Run To The Sun 5K! Here are the particulars:
Sunday, July 12 at 9:00 a.m.
Space Center Underground Facility
1500 W. Geospace Drive
Independence, MO 64056

Sunshine Center is a marvelous resource for children living with special needs and their families. It is has been doing important, wonderful work for many years and the Run To The Sun is one fun way to help them get the job done! (Run. Sun. One. Fun. Done. Suddenly, I’m Dr. Seuss!)
In the caves of the Space Center, it is always a comfy 70 degrees. That’s why Mr. Beck wants the steamy stuff…for the contrast! So, if you want to help lots of terrific kids and teachers and staff at the Sunshine Center, while feeling like Batman on the run, head out on Sunday morning and RUN TO THE SUN!
