And just like that, the four (potentially) five day weekend comes to an end. If you were in the Northeast, you were plagued by rain, but nevertheless it was a relaxing and refreshing fourth of July holiday. I always laugh at the people who "hate our country", but still so happily enjoy the PTO they get for the national holiday (that's neither here nor there).
One of the conversations I had this weekend was "what are the most American things?". The simple answer is baseball, hotdogs, apple pies, and Chevrolets, but truly... what are the most American things? So I began jotting some stuff down in my phone notes app, and this is what I got.
