Mixed Drink Monday: Throwback Week 13

Can we stop starting school before mid-August, please???  Having nearly 2 weeks of school in already is just not fun.  School can have all of May if I could just get a little more of August, please!  The weather is nearly always hotter in August than May anyways.  I suppose if I really want a change I should do more than complain on the internet in a post about mixed drinks.  Not that making my feelings known to school would necessarily change much.  I'm sure they have their reasons for starting so early...whatever they are...
