Spring Break

Season is almost over here in the land of sun and aloe vera. Thank God. When we start to see the high school and college kids arrive en masse, it signals the old folks to head back north for the summer. Good times. For now you can observe at almost any location in the great state of oranges kids glowing with the healthy look of sunburn, marked here and there by the glaringly white swimsuit marks and/or sunglass rings. Guess no one thinks to put on SPF. Why protect from skin cancer now, when you can have the joys of a first or even second degree burn to show all your friends in the frozen tundra up north?

Unfortunately, the end of that season means the beginning of one of another kind. Yep, hurricane season. It's been predicted to be a "very active" season this year. Great. We all know how much I enjoy that time of year. In case you haven't heard, hurricanes suck in general, and when they hit your area, suck specifically. Like gas wasn't already high enough. Anyone else notice how gas prices went up like 30 cents in two weeks, and it's not even summer yet. Am I the only moron that sees some sort of correlation between Exxon reporting record profits, into the billions people, and us having to pay more for gas? Guess that's why I'm not making the billions.
