Open Thread

There's no rest for the weary in the blogosphere. I'm working on a couple of new articles, but there's no telling how soon I'll be able to post them here, with the social interruptions of a long holiday weekend staring me in the face.

Meanwhile, you can use this thread to discuss anything or everything that comes to mind.

If anybody has any good ideas about what to do for the upcoming holiday weekend, by the way, I'm sure our gentle readers would love to get the lowdown from you.

As for me, I've always been partial to Huntsville's 4th of July celebration. It has a nice small-town feel, and includes the greatest little parade you ever saw, as well as day-long entertainment and a nice fireworks display in the evening:

Huntsville: July 4, 6 a.m., wake-up call, 7 a.m., breakfast, 10k and 5k races, 8 a.m., flag raising, 9:50 a.m., fly-over, 10 a.m., parade; 11 a.m., patriotic program, games, food, fun; 1 p.m., auction; 2 p.m., three-man basketball; 5 p.m., volleyball; 6:30 p.m., melodrama; 8 p.m., DJ music and dancing;10 p.m., fireworks, 745-0216.
For those who'd like a list of activities across Utah, the Deseret News published this comprehensive article on June 26.

How about you? What's the best event for the July 4th weekend, in your opinion? You can tell us all about it here. The Raptors are on the road for the weekend, so we can unfortunately rule that activity out.
