Every year on the 4th, which I get off, I go in to work and put on a small cookout for the guys stuck working. My company should be closed on the major holidays but they refuse to. I have a graduation party to go to on the 4th, so that's out.
This year, since I'm off Wednesdays, I'll be doing it on the 3rd. Cheddar jalapeño burgers, hot dogs, brats. The basics. My guys get a full belly and I get to feel less guilty about getting the day off and they dont.

What are your July 4th traditions?

    I knew Tennessee used to be western North Carolina but I didn't know Wisconsin used to be northwestern Virginia.
