The Solstice, Y'all!

Finally, the calendar has verified what the unseasonably hot weather and the presence of schoolchildren at times you are not prepared to see schoolchildren have belied: the true summer has begun! Bring out the lawn sprinklers and pump-action water cannons! Tempt us with your salads with fruit in them and your beguiling farmer's tans! Off with shirts! On with flip-flops! And goddammit, if your margaritas are frozen, we'll take a pitcher!
