Good morning. A friendly reminder that we, the residents of Kansas City, live in the Humid Subtropical Zone in the Köppen Climate Standard.

Now extend that 1,600' tall Convention Center 170 km to the north. The endpoint would be in Iowa. If the Convention Center was oriented East-West, the terminus would be in downtown Manhattan, Kansas. Now imagine this is a barren desert. That's Neom.

Picture the KC Convention Center straddling the interstate. Now make it as tall as the tallest skyscraper in KC (One KC Place at 624’, in pic). Now add another 1,000’ atop that, making it the 2nd-tallest building in the USA. That’s 500 meters.

Unlike the forward position, there are *very* few midfielders with decent minutes available in NWSL Free Agency this offseason. There is one player who's minutes and statistical ranking jumps out, and is undoubtedly the prize FA midfield acquisition: Lo'eau LaBonta.

Kansas City Current is second all-time in points per game over four played seasons. Remarkable considering they had a near-bottom finish in 2023.
I think there are three dynasties on this list right now. Kansas City *must* win the NWSL Championship to join them.

It's frustrating how in a lot of cases the last step of mapping completed work isn't done so, wayfinding is basically word-of-mouth. I just checked the MARC cycling map & I count 4.25 miles of bikeway (in red) that is complete or 99% done. Blue: in construction or close to start. Most of it's great!

I had no idea that Walkscore's data was so outdated and incomplete. A lot of it was probably 10 years out of date. I spend the lunch hour adding and editing locations to Downtown Lee's Summit and the Walkscore is now up to 91.

Took a quick picture in downtown Kansas City on Wednesday on our walk to the shuttle for the USWNT match. The intense stroke of orange color from the sunset on the New York Life Building was such a reprieve after a week of overcast skies.

A small nachos and a drink is $18 at CPKC Stadium tonight. That’s ridiculous!
Normally this is around $10.

A year ago this week, KC Current were crowned Champions of the NWSL x Liga MX Femenil Summer Cup.
This year, no one dared to challenge their crown. I am therefore declaring Kansas City Current as the winners of the 2025 NWSL x Liga MX Femenil Summer Cup.

For your consideration: prize money at the World 7's America's tournament (scheduled for December 5-7, 2025) compared to 2025 NWSL prize money.
Kansas City Current is entered into both.

I swore I’d never take my Bolt out of KC, but there was no choice but to take it to St. Louis this weekend. Thank goodness for fast charging but still. 🥱🥱

I refuse to believe this is an optical trick due to a low camera angle, and choose to believe that Bia can actually leap 1-2 feet above human beings’ heads.
