Happy 250th Birthday America!

59 days until Sept. 1. One thing that is cool about today is that ABC is broadcasting 4th of July events and profiling stories happening all over the country today. It is a 24 hour broadcast, which has never been done before. Since it is still pretty hot, I will watch some of this as a distraction. If you are American, do you have anything special planned for the 250th? I may watch some fireworks tonight. I am seriously considering it. I need to get out of the darn house. The only problem is there are possible storms predicated. It doesn't feel too humid right now though...maybe we won't get them. Anything planned for your 4th?

Thanks, I like breezy days as long as it doesn't get too breezy and start blowing things down or in the colder months making everything too cold.

@LadyDuck I hope not. The barest hint of a breeze here, maybe it will increase.

@snowy22315 - It's just breezy, not strong wind, I hope not strong enough to start forest fires.

It would be nice if we would get one both today and tomorrow. Looking ahead I saw Monday's temp is 90! I will have to get my parka out!

My friends are having a house party, so I will probably be going there. We also have some rain possible, so between the heat and the potential rain, I think we will be partying inside the house, instead of on their deck.
