Driving out of my neighborhood a couple days ago I saw a couple kids setting up a stand to sell shaved ice, $0.50. I thought that was pretty cool and consigned myself to stopping by on my way back home. Unfortunately the kids weren’t there when I returned. My guess, it was hot out, they were setting up in the middle of the day (i.e. little traffic), got bored, went to go play. Fair enough. I did think to myself that they should have set up in the evening when everyone had gotten home and was out walking their dogs or just walking around the neighborhood, as the increased foot traffic would have been better for business. Nevertheless, it was nice to see kids still continuing to do such things.

An old college buddy of mine just posted an article he wrote on lemonade stands and healthcare. Give it a read. Food for thought on these hot summer days.
