Weekend Wanderings

This weekend is the more or less official beginning of summer, even though the season itself doesn't begin until June. Here in the United States, there will be parades, picnics, and ceremonies remembering those who have fought and died in the service of their country. School children across the country, along with their teachers, eagerly await the end of the school year.
