It Turns Out That There IS A Cure For The Summertime Blues!!

And so begins the long, dog days of summer.

Here, in the USA at least, the period between the Fourth of July and Labor is interminable.

Two thirty-one day months, with no holidays whatsoever to break things up. Hot days, and lots of them, oh, and more heat. Yet the time is tinged with a cold melancholy, because we know that every single days brings us closer to another Michigan winter.

Yuck.

Well, fortunately, I have something to cheer myself up.

Because what can chase away the summer doldrums better than...

...a kid flying a bat-winged airplane while attack a giant octopus with an axe.

You're welcome.
