Fourth of July Plans?

Any one taking advantage of the long weekend for travel? Personally I have to get back to work on the fifth so it is gonna be pretty boring for me. Tell me about your plans so I could "hitch" a ride, as a matter of speaking.

Well now, my wife and I were invited to several friends and families homes for a BBQ etc.. we declined . Why? It's to hot for me. Tomorrow it will be about 38C (100F) here in Cedar Rapids. plus the humidity we have. Nope this year we shall stay at home.

PS I have to be back at work on the 5th also.

My Windows 8's lock screen reminds me that it will be a full holiday though I know it's no concern to me. Wishing you guys a happy holidays!
