First thing that come to mind - a personal favorite summertime memory (or series of memories) from long ago: That would have to be when I was 19, and took a trip with a friend 18,000 miles, 44 states over 2-1/2 months. We stayed with friends or relatives in a few places but mostly camped out, sometimes just in the car. With gas at 25-30 cents then, the cost was about $500 for the whole trip. At today's prices the gas alone would be well over $5,000.

Unrelated to first question - is there an upcoming event you are looking forward to? Everything no matter how small counts! Not really.
First thing that come to mind - a personal favorite summertime memory (or series of memories) from long ago: Outdoor barbecuing. Block parties.
What is your favorite thing about Summer? Longer light if I want to drive somewhere. Summer is my least favorite season. I don't like the heat or the bugs and have no energy in the summer. Also, I don't like to take nature photos when the sun is shining and the trees are an ugly green color (prefer chartreuse green leaves of mid-April - Mid-May and September). When I used to go largemouth bass fishing, though, I liked to top water fish from the shore on lakes and ponds on summer nights after dark with poppers (surface lures). There is nothing like a fish jumping out of the water to splash down on your lure. Poppers get their generic name because when you jerk them along the surface, the lure makes a popping sound.
Bonus:
The last time you went out to eat what did you order? Okay just to mention the main course. Steak, broccoli and a baked potato.
Please name a song you haven't heard in a while, popped into your head, and looked up on the internet to listen to, or a last song or artist that you played from your personal collection? The last 2 songs I looked up on the Internet, because I wanted to purchase them, were not released as singles by the artists who made them so I have to resort to listening to them on YouTube:
Hearing Damage - Thom Yorke (It's part of the Twilight: New Moon soundtrack - during a chase scene - and I don't want to buy the whole album just for one song)
Somewhere Only We Know - Kacey Musgraves (Don't like it by the original artist and Musgraves performed it live for some BBC show. It was released as a compilation album with other artists by the BBC show)
