(that is a literal thing here) A month to go and the kids start to recall what school is and what they are supposed to do there. Budgets constraints have kept this summer fairly mellow, but we haven’t had too much grumbling. Hopefully while I have some more fun vehicles to review for Crunchy, I […]
