Also the anniversary of America's hard-won independence, etc. It's Barbecue Day in my family. Somewhat sadly, I am not a big barbecue fan. It's also Fireworks 24/7 Day, much to the distress of our dogs, although the street's been pretty quiet so far. I predict that things should pick up this evening, however. Also, Sister Girl and Pete are coming to visit sometime later, which should be fun. Mom was thinking about trying to go see Iron Man, but apparently it's only playing at one theater in town at 9:50 pm, which is a no-go for her. This is what happens when you wait too long to see movies, people.
