Summa summa summa time

Winter is finally over. The snow is gone and by the amount of BBQ sauce in the grocery store, I'd say that summer is here. It's a bit of a rough transisition from sweaters and touques, but if we all band together we can pull it off smoothly.

Here are some tips to get you through the next five months:

- Neverevereverever EVER wear socks and sandals. Actually don't wear sandals. Flip flops I can understand if you are at the beach, your backyard, or a BBQ. Other than that, leave them at home.

- Stoops are better than bar patios for a couple of reasons. A. you can smoke, B. the beer is cheaper, and C. it's way better for people watching.
- Put the car away and get a bike, preferably one with less than 10 speeds.
- Fill up the propane tank you are going to need it.
- Salad, coldcuts, and fruit are a meal.

- There is never any excuse to wear a wifebeater.

- With sunglasses the more hideous they are, the better. And please, when you go indoors do not put them on top of your head.

- Although it seems like a good idea, more than 2 Strongbows a day, the Calgary Stampede, and store bought hamburgers are not a good idea.

- If you have kids, that you know about, send them to summer camp.
