While you could busy your wallet with responsible tasks like bill paying or shed building, the dog days of summer call for reckless financial abandonment and an appreciation for the precipitous decline in the cost of swank components. Besides, it's what The Man wants you to do! Don't just do it for yourself, step up and do it for your country.
