This weekend is the Fourth of July holiday weekend. The price of gas shot up almost 30 cents a gallon yesterday, as it always does right before a big traveling weekend.

I know a lot of people will be heading for the beach. We are staying home this year. Our vacation won’t come until October when we go to DC for two weeks

Looking forward to watching the fireworks here – we’ll probably go downtown rather than the show being hosted by the new shopping center in Mt Juliet. The traffic is bad downtown but it is ten times worse in Mt. Juliet. I’m sure the fireworks show will be just as good at either place, so I’m choosing the one with the least traffic congestion after it is over.
