Things to Avoid (Summer)

1. Touching the bottom of the lake with your feet.

2. Feeling sorry for moths after you have killed them.

3. Food at drive-in movies, particularly hamburgers that have been piled under one of those orange light bulbs.

4. Looking under docks.

5. Getting serious about minature golf or ski-ball.

6. Cleaning the windshield or radiator grill after a long drive in the country.

7. Testing the power of your lawn mower by running it over large sticks and roots.

8. Holding the firecracker while someone else lights it.
