Hahaha oh man, Missouri was ridiculously hot. When I was there the first time, this happened back in the UK, and it made the news in the US but for most people it was like "lol" because that was not at all an unusual temperature, and indeed we'd just had like four or five days in a row get hotter than that. I got reaaallly used to the heat when I spent the summer there.

First day I was ever in NYC was colder by far, but it was years later and I had lost my heat immunity, so it felt the same. xD
