7/07 KATU 6pm

Still Hot. People buy air conditioners that are too small for their homes. Dummies.

Zoo animals are still hot. Popsicles®.

Man, it isn't looking good for Kyron Horman. Or his stepmother. Sounds like she tried to hire a landscaper to do some dirty work for her. We may have our very own Scott Peterson. This isn't fun, or funny, of course... but I can't help thinking that this is most definitely going to become a made for TV movie.

Still hot.

There's water spewing all over McLaughlin from a broken pipe or a broken hydrant. Nice reporting, KATU. How hard could it be to figure out which it is?

A Coast Guard helicopter crashed into the ocean off of Port Angeles, WA. One survivor. The Coast Guard had to rescue their own and recover bodies. They are quite reasonably pretty shaken up.

Coffee Time in King City had some pretty horrific violations on their health inspection. You just cut the mold off the stuff and then cook it. What's the big deal?

There are two bands you've never heard of playing at the Oregon Zoo. DON'T GO.

Still HOT. Unless you're on the coast - then its pretty foggy. Don't die in the heat. It's hot. If you're a wimp. My cat has a coat on 24/7 and he's still looking for the sunniest spot in the room. The air conditioning at Union Jacks is probably blasting. --> (that was an editorial note) **{I checked it out... It WAS blasting. I knew it!}

Brush fire in Sherwood. Yeah, a brush fire.

Roosevelt High is getting some dough because the kids who go there come from poor families, so hopefully they won't drop out.

They wanna jack up the price on the mail again.

It's hot on KATU's rooftop. There's people frolicking in the water all around town. When people are interviewed on the news they almost invariably sound like complete fools.

Drink water if you're gonna exercise in the heat. Exercise early in the day. Use the shade to your advantage. Don't get heat stroke, dummy! My cat will laugh at you. Damn, I want a Cherry Pepsi®.

They're gonna put in a sprinkler and a slip 'n' slide in Laurelhurst Park! AWESOME!

Three dudes on the coast tried to kill someone. Guys, that's not cool.

William Althouse, the sex offender from a coupla days back has been caught in Idaho. What a dummy. He literally headed for the hills.

Moms and Dads don't want to lose funding for their disabled kids. Seems reasonable. Who approves these budget cuts, Norwegian Black Metal bands?

20 year old Gabriel Phelps allegedly killed his infant son by punching him in the stomach.

Jesse Morton got arrested for burglary? robbery? i don't know, I missed it.

A guy got hurt on the mountain.

People in Washougal want to copy Arizona's new immigration law.

***** 6:38. I've had my fill.
