Remember, this could have been our national bird.

I’m day-drinking and grilling up burgers and portabello mushrooms. Hope everyone has as good a 4th as I’m having!

A drive through my neighborhood showed 17 flags on display, out of 122 houses. Zero flags at houses with ‘Trump’ stickers on the vehicles.

- @OldCatLady Don’t see many political stickers here; there were vandalism issues.
  
  105 units, 11 flags. Four homes had chicago cubs flags, but one of those did put up Old Glory too.
  
  So it goes.

I am not sure if the fireworks went off in my area. The fireworks are scheduled to go off about 5 miles from where there is an active fire.

I imagine they are not doing it.

Fireworks in the high school field next to my mom’s apt. You can tell by the smoke that when the wind shifted we were a touch too close. Lovely to have them basically over head though (other than bits falling out of the sky into the parking lot where we were). The last photo was before the wind shift. The first three were after that.

  I did look it up. I was innocent of knowledge of that usage.

- @RiotDemon The beachwear in Europe took some getting used to, for someone who grew up where men wore board shorts.

- @OldCatLady I grew up where people wore Speedos and I still don’t like them. I like board shorts but I have absolutely no problem with these types:
