With the heat here and the rain coming in the late afternoon, we are definitely in the throws of summer.The other day I was driving back home from the vet after picking up some more insulin, syringes, and cat food, and I noticed various group of kids traveling down the side walks.
One group had the signature kid riding on the handlebars of another kid's bike, and I couldn't help but feel nostalgic. It probably didn't hurt that I was listening to the oldies station: "Bye, bye Miss American Pie..."
It was nice to see children out and about and doing dangerous stupid crap instead of glued to the TV or video games. I remember summer days when we'd head out and be gone all day, running around barefoot, riding our bikes, drinking gallons of Mello Yellow (none diet of course).
I found the song on YouTube:
So bye-bye, miss american pie.
Drove my chevy to the levee,But the levee was dry.
And them good old boys were drinkin’ whiskey and rye
Singin’, "this’ll be the day that I die."this’ll be the day that I die.

I wonder if the kids understand how risky that is?
Probably not. But, luckily kids do a lot of stupid things and survive, at least most do.
