He was referring to the email we get from the U.S. Postal Service. They image every piece of mail being delivered that day. It's not always accurate, but it gives us an idea of what's coming.
"We're not," I replied. "Today is a holiday."
"Oh yeah, that's right."
These days it's easy for us to forget holidays. They're not special when you're doing the same things at home you'd be doing any other day. If you're not working, taking a day off is pretty anti-climactic.
Particularly this year, with no Fourth of July parade down Lorain Road. Although, of course, there will be fireworks, as there have been non-stop throughout the week.
Doubtless, 2020 will go down as the year of the Bummer Summer.
Hopefully, we'll all be around to remember it ten years from now. Then we'll be celebrating mask-free and this crappy year will just be one of those things we look back on from our rocking chairs on the porch.
Happy Fourth!
