My July 4th. This whole population,s Independence day went to the tune of a different drummer. The weather Ch. said all of the late part of it would be a washout from consistent raining. It has not done so I learned as time passed by. So I spread blankets on the backyards lawn. I moved a fair bit slower since the humidity reached muggy at lunch time here in Orange county New York. I had an extended period of chilling at the max level. Just what the Dr. ordered. Three coffees one salami sandwich, were my foods. Oh and about 4 & a half big tablespoons of Salmon salad. Two 25oz cans of Rolling Rock beer and dinner was a plate of Shop Rite,s baked chicken. All in all it was splendid.
