WHY SO HOT ON HEAT?

Why your newspaper promotes the heat with headlines and pages of articles baffles me. If you donated that space to important news, people wouldn't even notice the heat. What sort of headlines can people expect when the heat wave is over?

- Moon Changes Shape Every Night. ``When will it end?'' scientists ask.

- 27th Straight Day. Ocean continues to be wet.

- Rain Falls From Sky to Ground. Baffles all in Hampton Roads.

- Sun Very Bright When Looked At. Local schools to cover windows.
