Summer Fun Is an Oxymoron
(for those of us who hate the heat!)
I didn’t like summer as a child.
I like it even less now.
This picture says it all.
I sound a bit like a Dr. Seuss character:
I do not like sand; I do not like bugs; I do not like sweat; I want no hugs!
Today it is 87ยบ with 77% humidity. I don’t really feel like thinking about a blog. I believe my brain has shut down. Nothing clever. Nothing creative. Not even anything prosaic. I got nothing! Oh, yes, I do have my folder AND some cute cartoons my spouse reminds me. If you are a fall or winter person, too, I hope you will get a chuckle from my effort.
From the folder here are some oxymorons (contradictory terms) that I have gathered. And you may remember I really like lists, especially with a cartoon or some visual attached – so you end up with a new Listicle!
[Side note: Listicle is now an accepted word in the Merriam-Webster Dictionary!! Ta Da!]

18. Not quite an oxymoron, but how could this list be complete without a Yogi Berra-ism?
19. Clearly confused!
20. Genuine imitation - think Louis Vuitton knockoffs or

Thanks for bearing with me this week. And, on a final note, our ice cream has “freezer burn.”
