I thought that today was a federal holiday of the tallest order. Yet earlier today, a mail truck made a delivery of stuff I don't really need that we ordered from the comfort of our home 2 days ago. God Bless America! Later I'll eat too much and watch things explode!

God Bless America! Later I'll eat too much and watch things explode! That happened to me as well. When she pulled up I asked her why she was delivering stuff on a holiday. Her response was that USPS contracts with Amazon for deliveries on off days - I didn't know that.

I'm feeling so patriotic right now, I might just take on a car loan for an impractical fun car that I'll have to really make cuts to afford!

Its raining hard here too. We are mostly going to be indoors. We can do the meat on the stove if needs be. Probably no fireworks, but I'm sure we'll find an app or a channel to watch that will show them.

4th of July thwarted by extreme dry conditions & heat here. We are used to it raining on the 4th so we can explode a lot of stuff.
So hot & dry lately that the trees are crispy. Most of us are watering lawns & roofs to try not to catch fire when the crazies start lighting things off.

The post office has out-sourced some deliveries to Amazon to make their budget numbers. The good news is - the PO is still alive and has not laid off a bunch of people.

Our 4th plans were thwarted by rain. I saidets run errands and go to movies. Husband was surprised all the stores and what not are open. All the stores that I know of around here pay time and a half for hours worked on a holiday plus their regular hours on top of that for the holiday for regular employees. People were actually fighting over the holiday hours when the schedule came out. At my PT job I worked 10 hours yesterday and will get paid for 23.
