Dog Days of Summer

The 4th of July has come and gone and now we are in the "Dog Days of Summer."  Half the country is on vacation and the other half wishes they were on vacation.

However, in this summer of our discontent it would be better to say one quarter of the country is on vacation, one quarter wishes they were on vacation, on quarter wishes they had a job to take a vacation from and one quarter is living off  those that are working and can't take a vacation.
