Ah yes... warm breezes in the shade of a tree, a cool iced tea in one hand and the back of your head in the other while resting comfortably horizontal in a hammock listening to the ballgame on the radio - a famous and popular memory of summer, now in full swing.
With the price of gas the way it is, this is about all that's going to happen too! Anytime the oil barons decide to further RAPE the American consumer, they blame some innocent refinery or supply line, transport service, or whenever the natives get restless over in the middle east.
It's bad enough that a bag of popcorn and a beverage at the movie theater is more than twice the price of admission, but just try to bring your own snacks in - the department of homeland security will swarm down upon you and relieve your wallet of that heavy cash residing within.
It's no wonder that Americans are the hardest working people on Earth, it's all we can do to keep up with the rising costs of EVERYTHING (except wages).
But isn't summer just great?
