We are weird
Weirdly traditional.
I know it's kind of hard to wrap your brain around these two seemingly oxymoronic (is that a word???) words.
But we are.
When it comes to the 4th of July celebration...we have to have four elements. Now the FORM that these four elements take on is completely open to interpretation and varies year to year...but they are kind of sort of set in stone.
ONE - Speech
Freedom of speech bellies up the bar in mayn forms.
Parades are good. So are skits. And speeches. Music and dancing are always the crowd pleaser. We are a free nation my friends...and if freedom of speech to you is an old pink cadilaac with beverage of choice in hand (as long as you aren't the DD??) I say get your freedom ON!
TWO: Water
I don't care if it's a lake for boating. Or a river for rafting. Or a pool for swimming. Heck even a sprinlker works. But I REALLY like a pool.
THREE - Smoked Food
Living down South we like some good ole fashioned pulled pork BBQ and chicken with all the sides. Of course burgers and dogs on the grill are traditonal go to. North...South...East....West? Go Grill! Go Meat!
Four - Fire!
Fireworks baby. The fat lady hasn't sung until the percussion in your chest from the thundering display has only been trumped by beautiful lights in the sky!
That's what I call a perfect 4 for 4!
