The summer solstice is coming soon, will you be taking some time off?

I understand the marketing plan behind the items placed near the checkout line at grocery stores, etc. .... but you know, it works! A Time Special Edition caught my eye the other day: America's National Parks: Celebrating Our Land and Heritage. It's a nice history of what the NPS does: manages parks, landmarks, and memorials. A great read as we head into summer!

And, while you are in the 'park' sort of mood, perhaps planning that summer vacation, (or just feeling a bit nostalgic) spend some time with American Icons with photographs by Steve Gottlieb. From roads to sports, food, buildings and more this is an excellent collection of things that should bring a smile to your face.
