As we approach August (when did that happen!?), I'm reminded that we're darn near back-to-school time for students and teachers everywhere. But, before the summer dwindles down, there's still time for a road trip, a beach day, some barbecuing, and any excuse to be outside in the oppressive heat blasting music.
