On Big Winners and New Zip Codes

There is no way that any person south of Nebraska would debate the fact that it is indeed summertime. Pools are hot commodities, popsicles appear as though with legs in the freezer, and parents find themselves regularly reminding children not to cool the whole neighborhood.

Because we just don’t have enough government regulation in our lives
