Luke’s Essence of KC
One of the many perks of my job is traveling. Less now than when I first started in 2004, but still, I have gotten to see me some America on the company’s dime. And of course, people are people wherever you go—at least under their environmentally-influenced shells—but it is always so interesting to see the differences of the people and their place, compared to where I’m from.
What I’ve loved about Kansas City are the old brick buildings, the bbq, the music, the local hospitality, and an added bonus of art, right next to the hotel where I stayed, via the Kemper Museum.
I’ve been hanging out near the hotel waiting to head to the airport, so I’ve had a minute to take/gather/post a few pics I took in the short time I was here that sort of, kind of, barely capture the spirit of what I’ve experienced here. It’s been real KC. Hope to make it back some day.

Hotter Than Hades
In a lot of ways I’m a “go big or go home” kind of guy. Not with everything, but sometimes I just get a wild hair to go over the top. Lately, I’ve been hating the crazy heat here in Fresno. It was 111 yesterday and now it’s 103 at 6 pm! F-in mother f-in hot. Tonight the dinner requires bbq and instead of hiding inside between flips, I’m sitting right next to the hot bbq, and for good measure I heated up some coffee and brought that with me. Stupid? Maybe. But maybe I’m just thinking that if I run headlong into this inferno, I’ll somehow tip it all over the edge and bring about some glorious change. Maybe it’s a sacrifice to the omnipotent weather gods for a little f-in mercy. Or maybe I’ll just continue to soak the hell out of my BVDs, hyped up on caffiene, reeking of smoke.
