Winter Light / Summer Heat #332 The Ice In Your Drink

SUMMER. That one simple word that opens the gate to all that is great in this world. Warm weather, cool breezes, an abundance of popsicles and ice cream, sunshine skating around the asphalt and no school. Oh, I guess that one doesn't really affect most of us anymore... In fact, no school means that more hoodlums are turned out on the streets during the day than normal, making longer lines at the soda shoppe, the drive in movies and the hamburger stand. Plus they are staying up all hours of the night making a racket since there's nothing to get up early for tomorrow. We're at the mercy of these monsters for three whole months. And now I'm living the words Homer said after Bart bemoaned that he was going to miss the whole summer with the cast on his broken leg: "Don't worry, boy, when you get a job like me, you'll miss every summer!" Escape the highs and lows of summer tonight with two hours of poppy, shimmering, psych delight.
