Yesterday, June 11th,2026, a man sat in an empty corner lot on Main Street and died. I’m not sure from what. Maybe heat related, it was over 100° yesterday.
I had a person ask me for some water yesterday late afternoon. Even though I was exhausted, I went and got that person some ice water and electrolyte packets that I had at home. Today I will be freezing some water bottles to hand out.
Are there any cooling stations? Any water stations for the homeless?
God bless you….
