Celebrating the Fourth
And a 3 day weekend to boot!
Parades in every town with local politicians in the back of cars and pickups throwing schlock to the crowds (yep, gonna vote for the one that gives me the best refrigerator magnet with emergency phone numbers on it). Which are usually followed by massive numbers of people consuming massive amounts of beer at the local VFW/Legion Post/Amvets/Fire Hall, etc.
That’s why I keep my driving to a minimum on the Fourth.
And I haven’t gone to watch fireworks since the kids moved out.
But it is a day off, a celebration of an important event in our nation’s history. And everyone is “patriotic” on the Fourth.
To all - drive safe, and have a happy Fourth!
