Unfortunately these bad actors don't disappear just because you close your eyes.
But for the sake of sanity, we're moving on...
"Wow! We've enjoyed all this great weather and we still have another month of Summer!"
The "who are you kidding? everyone knows the glass is half empty" part of me thinks:
"What the heck?
"I blinked, Summer packed her bags and is headed to the station!"
My enjoyment of what's left of this season...

...of yet another disastrous AMC blog entry please keep in mind yours was a conscious, voluntary decision to risk it all and visit this site.
Bold, daring, unafraid...what the heck were you thinking?
Here's to better decision making in the future.
