Cold

I'm not gonna lie, when people said it was hot here I thought they were over exaggerating. They may still be, from what I'm told this heatwave is extremely uncommon for Yakima let alone Washington State. Sadly for me, I've got a broken air conditioner and a bunch of fans, lucky for you, I've figured out five simple life hacks to stay cool during the Yakima heat...

I recommend you stay inside as much as possible to avoid air stagnation.

Take a listen to this stellar pairing.

Since the day after Christmas, I have been fighting a head/chest infection. Many of the over-the-counter remedies are not recommended for my use. What surefire way do you beat a cold? Let me know -- I'll try just about anything!

Get news on Foo Fighters and Royal Blood accolades, Cold and Lynch Mob lineup changes and a new song from The Temperance Movement in Wire-to-Wire.

Get news on new videos from Nothing More, Mastodon, Giants in the Trees and Obituary, the Dia De Los Toadies festival + album updates from Rob Zombie and Cold.

With record-low high temps forecast for Yakima this weekend, it reminded me that I'd best brush-up on my cold weather metaphors.

A website called DumbLaws.com points out some of the ludicrous statutes across all 50 of the United States. If you're about to get all uppity about how "progressive" Washington is and how our state is immune to the backwards thinking that seems to affect other states check yourself, because you're wrong...

The thermostat is never set right for anyone here at Townsquare Media. I always have it on cool at our station. If it gets too cool, then I have to switch it off for a few so I don't freeze to death.

I think the cold weather has finally gotten to all of us, including this four-year-old, who has a special request -- for Jesus.

A couple of weeks ago, I commented on a Facebook topic on KIMA-TV's page regarding getting vaccinated for influenza.  I was pretty cavalier, stating that I had NEVER gotten inoculated and have NEVER had the flu, relying only on my body's own natural defenses and immune system to help ward off sickness.

Cold’s ‘American Dream’ video tells the story of just that: the sometimes unrealistic ideals and idyllic goals that so many average Americans strive for, yet never attain. Perhaps it’s the thrill of the chase, but Americans never give up on the dream. Also in this clip is the pervasive idea that nothing is ever quite like it seems, either.
