4. In The Summertime...Mungo Jerry...ah, right...how many other hits did he (they?) have?...had an infectious beat...
5. A Summer Song...Chad and Jeremy...loved their harmony...mostly slower songs, right?...some confused 'em with Peter and Gordon...
6. Theme from a Summer Place...ah, no words...still...Percy Faith and his Orchestra...somebody tried to add lyrics, later...didn't work...
7. Summer in the City...Lovin' Spoonful...my hey days...could hear John Sebastian sing purnt near anything...such a mellow voice...
8. Summer Breeze...Seals and Croft...saw these dudes at the Oregon State Fair waaaaay back when...they were like 40 minutes late...couldn't find Oregon, I think...

10. Summer Nights...from Grease...John Travolta and Olivia Newton John...let's be honest, I just lurved the show and the soundtrack...
11. Indian Summer...Brooks and Dunn...I guess even us Injuns have to accept that there is this phenomena of an Indian Summer...however, this tune is exceptional...

What did I leave out?...add yours to the list...
Other...
Now that POTUS caved and signed a docu that reversed his separation of the family...he is left with what is left...he doesn't have an exit strategy...duh...what happens to the kids, whose parents are already deported?...I could go on...at least he has some form of order, from here on out...
Claims of abuse are rampant of those kids incarcerated ...I keep wondering when the people who are doing the 'care' of them, will start divulging what was going on...the REAL story...
ICE, some may refer it as the modern day Gestapo...raided a meat packing company in Ohio...rounded up 145 'illegals'...shouldn't the company bear some brunt of this?...I am totally confused...
Recall that the head of Housing got the comeuppance as she was eating at a Mexican Restaurant?...one of those who were protesting, was a worker in the organization...we are teetering...I tell ya...
You know Steve Schmidt?...a longtime Repub who is bailing out...to the other side...has had it with Trump and prepare yourself for the like...so much for me being fair and balanced...
Loved the fact that the OSU Beavers came back and won their game in the College World Series...but...the length of the game is laboriously...LONG!....the 6th or 7th inning, must have been an hour and half...not kidding...speed it UP!...
The fading Padres...ooops....there goes my positivity....lost 4 in a row...got banged bad yesterday...and ended up pitching a non pitcher...embarrassing and not PROFESSIONAL...well, we are supposed to get Wil Myers back today...in SF...hold on to your caps...
I did get out to the course yesterday...not all bad, did not swing and miss...hit my irons decently, but the flat stick?...was just awful...missed so many 3 footers, that I felt like a spaz...however the day was not a total zero....as Pops Morgan (fresh from a return from the US Open) brought me a gift from there...way cool, huh...
