Summer is baseball. And tennis and golf and miniature golf and swimming and fishing. Tomatoes taste like tomatoes again. It's when the organized fun stops and the real fun begins. It's porches and decks and swings and parks and fountains and soft ice cream.
Summer also is nearly perfect politically.
