It's swim team season in the South. Cicadas buzz in the bushes, fireflies twinkle erratically on the night shift, and the snack bar at some neighborhood pools sells Cheerwine for a dollar a can. Swim meet volunteers say things like "You have to stand over there, honeybunch," or "Ain't she just a little rocket in the pool?"One neighbor training a puppy has discovered she can wait the dog out by making it sit and threatening to keep it in that position "until the Rapture."
Another neighbor sold his china cabinet to a man via Craigslist, and was gratified to see that the man showed up at his house with two strapping "young 'uns" in tow to help move the thing.
So summer beckons. I'm taking a blog break. Y'all come back now, ya hear? I'll post new material come mid-July. Stay safe out there. Thank you for reading!
