Today we decided to do Chicago Dogs. In-laws are coming over and bringing the dogs and buns. Couldn't find Vienna Beef franks, nor poppyseed buns.

Oh well. They'll still be more Chicago than anyone from Indiana who says they live in "the region".

Can you get Boar's Head dogs? They suffice. I tried it last week - forgot to tell everyone.
U RAH RAH! WIS CON SIN!

Heh, I was in NYC with the family for the 4th/week.   We actually went to Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty.  A little corny for the 4th but when in Rome and all.    Afterwards ate at the Fraunces Tavern (where General George Washington celebrated after winning the War) and then just did room service for a nightcap.   No fireworks.

Visiting Dad’s this July 4th week. This year the Tucson area is much more cooled off than the past few July 4ths I’ve crashed here. Highs settling around only 97F or 98F, tempered by cloud cover and bouts of seasonal monsoon rains. Much more outdoor friendly than my previous week in Scottsdale with Highs topping 107 & 108 last week.

The two of us hiked the desert behind his subdivision last night. Took this photo of the storm skies gathering over the Tucson Mountains; reminds me of our State license plate:

The Big Thing here is the 10 K that runs quite close to us, and the bars are open now for the 10Kers, and the rest of us reprobates.

They usually have 50,000 people in this "race", probably 100 or so are racing and another 500 might be decent runners and the rest mostly walk.

I bought some kind of weird looking sausage things at Costco yesterday.  We had our neighbor's guest over for dinner, I did a beef tenderloin my wife said was great.  I'm introducing him to American wines not from Napa, we had one from Washington and one from Paso Robles (Justin).

Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
Nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free
Feelin' good was easy Lord when Bobby sang the blues
Feelin' good was good enough for me
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee

4 racks of ribs brewing.  Corn on the cob.  Campfire taters.  Grilled asparagus.   Plenty of adult beverages. 

Hanging out poolside with two bros, wives and 4 dogs who love swimming!

Also some Royal Red shrimp.  Those are the ones that taste just like lobster- they come from deep water. 

Enjoy our freedom people!🇺🇸
