Do unto others: Remember your elderly neighbors



I don't know about the rest of the world - but the weather here in the STL has been SCORCHING HOT !!!!!. I am an asthmatic and its made things really really difficult lately for me. With that being said I can only imagine what its doing to the elderly people around the city.

I remember after the big storm in summer 2006 - there were plenty of people without power. I remember being at that cooling station and just talking with the older people who didn't really have any help to defend themselves from the heat - I called them the forgotten people. I learned a lot from that. Don't forget them. Make a phone call, knock on or door, or two.
