Aww, For Me? Gee, Thanks.

Today is July 4^th in this country and every other country as well, but it has a special meaning in this one. Yes, yes, yes, I know. It is Independence Day too. A truly sacred day in American history to be sure, but July 4^th is also important because it is considered to be the Mid-Point of Summer.

Balderdash.

Summer only officially started on June 21^st. That was less than two weeks ago, fer cryin’ out loud. The Mid-Point of Summer? We have another month or so before we hit the real Mid-Point. Let’s try early August on for size, shall we?

July 4^th has another mantle of significance about its shoulders that few people recognize or acknowledge.
