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. Cleverly disguised as a responsible adult.

We were going to stay at a state park but it's been closed. They might have to have the party 2 months late. “In a time of deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act.” ― George Orwell It's not over when you lose. It's over when you quit.

Congratulations Rocky, your back up plan sounds more appealing than plan A, to me.😁 Last edited by erikj; 06/27/20. @jameslavish 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

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.

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.
