 JULY 1936

LEO

31 Days

The crab rules July, they say, and if you know anything about crabs you know they run backwards when anything bad comes their way. Just the same, with all those legs he has, a crab likes to move around a lot, and so do folks born in July. One reason for movin' may be that it's generally too hot to set in one spot for long.
