Iden dangers Guys, don't wear a bikini bathing suit; people may seem to be staring at you and admiring your physique, but they're laushins on the inside. Don't swim near the fishing pier. Those sharks you saw the fishermen chumming with bloody fish heads are gonna get pretty ticked off when the fishermen run out of fish heads, and you don't want to be an after-dinner snack. Don't pee in the water. If a giant fish came into your house and relieved himself on your Lazy Boy, you'd be mad, wouldn't you? Don't go out without suntan lotion on your feet. Nikes and a top o'. the foot sunburn just don't mix. Finally, don't go into the water until 30 minutes after you eat. I don't know why, but my mother used to tell me that, and I figured I'd pass on the advice. (I think it attracts jellyfish or something.) I know there are a lot of rules for summertime fun, but think of all the mischief and fun I didn't mention. If you're lucky, you may even go out one night and see a lightning storm over the ocean, with Zeus throwing fiery thunderbolts at Poseidon. (That's "see Jupiter throwing fiery thunderbolts at Neptune," for all you Roman mythology types.) If you're lucky enough to see a natural phenomenon like that, your summer will be made. Have a happy summer; next fall, the squirrels and I will be back! TSV w | J|fp m *mester||??8|jA : ester ( , I \. Year / ' -V
