What would you do instead of go to work on the perfect summer day?
	“Biking on the many bike paths around Lane County and then ballroom dancing in the evening.” — Rosalyn See, 55, sunographer
	“I love to listen to live music outside. I love the Cuthbert, but it’s not accessible enough. We need more outside concerts [in Eugene].” —Leah Riordan, 44, mom/fitness instructor
	“Bicycling around Eugene, especially Alton Baker Park and the river. I know Eugene like the back of my hand by bike.” — Joe Burgess, 53, factory worker
	“I would float down the river with a beer and then barbecue a bitchin’ steak!” — Zach Bondi, 23, student/sales associate
	“My perfect day would be making my boyfriend skip work with me, going to the beach and eating clam chowder at Mo’s.” — Shaina Greene, 22, student/sales associate
	“Go to the lake and swim and then climb trees and look at the sunset.” — Kelli Maks, 22, student/teller
	“If I could miss one day of work, I would spend my time drinking only the finest of regional wines while poring over a Danielle Steel novel!” — Matt Ladner, 25, student/ice cream scooper
