Stickin it to the Man

Sometimes I think I am an absolute genius. Today is one of those days. I am going to start a cultural revolution and it all began with snow day. We've all seen on the movies when kids in America get the day off school because the snow is so amazing that it would be cruel to keep them from playing in it...or maybe it's because the roads are clogged with snow, frozen over and it would be too dangerous to drive, I can't quite recall. Here in Australia we should start something similar. As we all know spring is here and the warmer weather is slowing creeping its way back in. In the past few weeks there have been a couple of days which are absolutely perfect for going to the beach. I have been working on every single one of them for the entire day and it is very depressing. On my way to work I sometimes go past the beach and it's perfect for snorkelling!  If days like this come up we should shut all the shops and schools and head down to the beach. If someone wants to be strolling around the shops instead of swimming, tough luck you are obviously insane.

I don't mean every sunny day, we shall put guidelines in place. The temperature must be over 25 degrees, there must not be a single cloud in the sky, the sun must be blazing and there must not be a breath of wind. This should ensure flat, crystal clear water sparkling in the sun. It's really criminal to keep people inside on a day like that.

The only problem I have is coming up with a name for one of these days. Fun day? Nope, ridiculous. Sun day? Already taken. Beach day? Maybe.
