This July Fourth is our 50th wedding anniversary. As I type this, we would have been heading to the airport for our whole family cruise embarking tomorrow. But that is not to be. Instead, family is coming to Utah. There will be a celebratory family portrait up in the mountains, a reserved room at a local steak emporium, and lots of "just together" time. Probably some ice cream along the way. And then fireworks.

Congrats! We were supposed to be near Tacoma this weekend for my sister's 50th. However, everything is shut down there. They had reservations that have been cancelled. We were going to stay at a state park but it's been closed. They might have to have the party 2 months late.

Nothing, everyone is working. Which in this economy is a good thing. So I guess thats a celebration in its self.

I'll be somewhere between Salina, KS and Rock Springs, WY, making my way to Yellowstone.
We will have a full week in Yellowstone before heading toward South Dakota and the Black Hills/Custer for a couple of days.

Our small town does a firework show. Actually pretty nice show considering....
Green light. Social distance and all that jazz.
Live bands. Food.

Congratulations Rocky, your back up plan sounds more appealing than plan A, to me.😁

If you work 40 hrs/wk: at 5% inflation and after 5 years, you need a 28% pay raise or to work 44 more hours (*one full extra week* per month+) to make up the difference.
This is inflation

On the Carolina coast. No place better to be on Independence Day, IMHO. We’ll have a big feast after a loooong day at the beach. Grilled burgers, dogs, fried squash, watermelon etc. Family from Pa. and Texas will be in to enjoy the fun. The event is pretty much the same every year, and I wouldn’t change a thing.

Fireworks stands in Kansas finally open today. They've been open in Missouri and Oklahoma for several days now.

I am on top of the mountain. Normally, we watch the Marshall and Mars Hill town fireworks, five and fifteen miles off in the distance, then fire off some fireworks.
This year, all towns have cancelled fireworks. What a bunch of chickensh*t bureaucrats.
But I have made up for it! I am going to set off some real bad ass rockets and mortars. Had to drive to S. Carolina to get the good stuff, I have $200 worth.

Going up to my camp that's surrounded by woods and corn fields with some good fishing holes scattered about. Plan on fishing, shooting , cooking and drinking.
