I drove past the local elementary school and noticed their sign:
REGISTER NOW FOR FALL
Jumping Jehosaphat! The poor kids were free for mere days before someone put that up in big letters, a stark reminder that you'd better enjoy your summer while it lasts because, to borrow a phrase from the great Walt Kelly, "It ain't nohow permanent."
Well, maybe the other side of the sign had something a little more fun. I kept an eye out on the way back home and read this on the reverse:
HAVE A GREAT SUMMER!
READ EVERY DAY!
That's right, folks. This school can't resist giving homework in the middle of an ostensible "summer fun" message.
Makes me glad I graduated.
