BIG political contributor... patriotic

Maybe.....because many have enjoyed fireworks and don't need them anymore? When we did a poll here on the forum on parades a majority didn't need those either.

We haven't gone to a parade or to watch fireworks for years. The big draw was when our children and grandchildren loved them. Now I don't like the traffic jams.

I am a patriotic girl and hide if you are wearing a uniform because I will shake your hand and thank you. I get all teary eyed when old glory passes by but...

fireworks...not so much anymore.

I like a good picnic on the fourth with burgers and baked beans and potato salad and I wear my nice red golf shirt with my navy shorts.

I love a lot of things patriotic but I can see the fireworks from all around if I pull my cart over near a big open space like a golf course and you can see them in the surrounding areas.

You know I will defend the developer. I am waiting for that first check, Gary.
