Summer-time random thoughts

It's the middle of summer.....the temperature rose to extreme levels, gas prices are high, rent is high, tuition is high - can I get a witness?

I don't know what to think of the people running the State of California. Is it like this in other states? Who is Antonio Villaraigosa? What are his credentials? How is his ex-wife holding up? Is he still seeing his friend from Univision?

I'd like to make a bumper sticker that reads....."Money does not make up for lack of character."

Do children or adults know what adds up to character today?
