Grand Avenue by Mike Thompson for July 28, 2014

The same thing we do every day during summer break, Pinky… try to take over the world!

Try reading a book, going to a movie, build a tree-house, fort, lemonade or ice water stand, etc. If possible, go to a pool, play a game, make a new friend, look-up an old one, volunteer at a charity, learn a new skill, USE YOUR IMAGINATION!!!!!!!! (Inspire kids reading GoComics?)

Don’t they have a community swimming pool, or do they live in a place like Fair Oaks, California?

Agreed Mike.

Kids being bored over summer vacation is a common theme, but I sure don’t remember ever being bored during the summer when I was in school (in the 1960’s)! I loved it and felt like I was having a great time every day. – and I always knew that that dreaded first day of school (always the first day after Labor Day) would come soon enough (too soon, as did those much hated ads for "Back to School sales!).

Nermal M: Or any town north of Dallas County, Texas. Sir James Crowe lives, just a little more respectable nowadays. The rich have their country clubs, all others don’t matter, even if the temperature is 110°F.

So what are we going to do today?Take over the world!
