It was the last summer before college and I was looking forward to having the house to myself during the daytime when my parents were both at work. It meant waking up late, spending lots of time in the pool, and basically doing as little as possible for three months. It was going to be perfect.

I was trying to finish up a load of laundry before heading to the neighbors to watch the Nascar race from Talladega. I stepped on to our deck to grab some towels drying on the rail. My eye then...
