Summer officially started last week, but the temperature has been rising for weeks already, and if you know me, you know I’m not a fan of summer. It’s not just the heat and humidity, but memories of horrific sunburns, leeches, mosquitoes, and getting swept up in rapids and nearly drowning (and nobody noticing I wasn’t around till I managed to pull myself out a half-mile away from camp and trudged back; that’s what free-range parenting was in the late 1970s-1980s). And ya know, I thought a funny video or two would make me feel better about summer.

Yeah, no. Still hate it. I want some ice cream, dang it.
