Ah, those halcyon days of summer: relaxing on lounge chairs, guzzling cold beers, loping on down to the swimming hole and taking a swing on the rope that ends in mild bodily harm and humiliating failure — the good times. Since heavy day-drinking in an integral part of any summer experience, it’s likely you’ll be sustaining some type of dumb injury during these coming months of long days and warm temperatures, but we’re here to help you avoid at least one on the swing: Here’s an excellent example of why it’s important to keep those knees up.

Will you step up to support Westword this year?

At Westword, we’re small and scrappy — and we make the most of every dollar from our supporters. Right now, we’re $21,000 away from reaching our December 31 goal of $50,000. If you’ve ever learned something new, stayed informed, or felt more connected because of Westword, now’s the time to give back.

$50,000
