Welcome to Scoop, where you get the scoop on this week's news.

My name is Jenna and this is Smarter News.

Well, hello everyone from a chilly and cool central Texas day.

It's just about 70 degrees.

And suddenly it feels like fall.

It is something that we anticipate here in Texas because it's just so dang hot all the time.

And I was sharing with some of our scoop insiders today that my children all were looking

for sweatshirts this morning because it was about 60 degrees.

That's just because we're not acclimated yet. We're not, we're not sure what to do when it's

kind of borderline. We're not, we're not completely sure in Texas. Is it here to stay? I just got a

great request on our live feed from Candice, who's my neighbor here. I don't know her personally, but Candice were neighbors apparently because we live very close to each other. If I could request from the weather people in Texas to keep the weather this way, that would be great. Unfortunately, we know it's going to be back at 100 degrees at some point because that's just the way that Texas likes to just kind of turn up the dial on people. And we can't take that this week,

you guys. We can't. We just can't because it's such an interesting week in news. We're going to

need that crisp, calm, cool weather so we can extend it to our own posture throughout this week.

Because we've got a lot of politics this week. We also have a lot of emotional news. And I always

want to leave some room for that

because when we mark a date like September 11th, there's an emotional toll and reaction to that,

as there should be, because it's one of the most significant events in American history.

And so we got to leave some space for that. And as we've talked about over the last couple weeks, I think it's important to remind

ourselves, during this period of time, there's that thin sort of veil of like political

stress, even if you don't find yourself that political or that connected.

It's just this all that talk about politics in the election, just adds that little something, that little layer on top, which can cause a little extra stress and anxiety in our lives.

And I think if we're just aware of that, it's helpful.
