Happy 4th of July Weekend!

It is now Thursday, the day before the "observed" holiday of Friday, July 3rd, for July 4th.  Confused?  Whether you are a purist and want the holiday observed on its actual date or just a free thinker and say bring  it on, have a great weekend!

What it boils down to is a nice three day weekend for a Summer holiday.  Enjoy!

Here is the state of things in our area.  The day before the official holiday had an early over six-mile back-up on the HRBT.  (Hampton Roads Bridge Tunnel).  This in itself is not unusual.  But we know there's more to come.  Just a regular Friday brings traffic woes around here; back-ups, accidents, break-downs, idiot drivers, bridge lifts, lane closures, etc.

It is hot and around 75% humidity.  The air is very hazy.  There was a news report last evening talking about smoke that has come down from Canada.  I had not heard about the big fires up there, but their smoke caught on to the jet stream and is spread out along our coast now.  There are thunderstorms and heavy rain predicted for our area.  They make a point of saying it won't be constant, it will be hit or miss.  Makes for interesting planning.

Golfer got out and mowed the grass early this morning.  I went out and did some clean-up.  We're watching Cutie Girl this evening for a few hours.  Golfer does have some golf rounds scheduled for the weekend, but that all depends on the weather.  Anything I  have planned to cook can be done either on the grill or inside, so we're all set.

Have a great holiday and stay safe!
