When we think of summering, what do we think of? The people with cottages who spend their summers on a lake? The birds that migrate to northern parts of the hemisphere?
Summering isn"t used very much. There's a few summer camps for law students. A debut album in 2015. A failed Facebook sites with nothing posted since 2017. Summering doesn't seem to be an accepted verb. That might be because it is associated with the rich heading off to their summer homes on the beach or the ocean or wherever.
What about some summer records? What might we associate with summer? The world's largest scoop of ice cream in 2014 weighing 1,365.31 kg. Then there's the world's largest kick board which is 10 times the standard adult size, so pretty well took up the swimming pool. How long is the longest inflatable water slide? 1,975 feet. Do you imagine joining 1,387 people to make sand angels? Longest hot dogs, largest beach towel, longest bikini parade (China), longest barbecue, most people applying sunscreen... all activities associated with summer.
I wonder if there might be any records this year. Other than heat wave temperatures. Here's one:
Skills Ontario successfully launched the GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ attempt event on May 5, 2021. We invited Ontarians in making history by helping us to break the record for Largest Online Video Chain of People Passing and Using a Screwdriver!
Although we had a focus on women in the trades, this record attempt was open to anyone, any age across the province with a minimum goal of receiving 251 individual video submissions.
This montage is a combination of weathered wood and a white stone sculpture. It looks like peas in pods to me.
