Independence Day is a celebration of the United States of America. The holiday is marked by fanfare and large parties, complete with barbecues, fireworks and parades.
Nobody has to tell anybody around these parts that it is hot. I mean, it is officially summer now and in Texas that means heat. I can only imagine how folks that haven’t lived here very long feel as the good ol’ Texas sun cranks up the oven and starts scorching all of us for the next couple of months.
More than 332 million people live in the United States, according to the most recent data from the U.S. Census Bureau. There’s a good chance that, come July 4th, a considerable number of those individuals will be hosting or attending parties to celebrate American independence.
