I can't recall the last time the 4th of July was on a Wednesday. I was probably in college and it probably didn't matter.
For all future July 4ths that will fall on a Wednesday I would like to suggest we celebrate on ANY OTHER DAY:
Sunday: Sunday = weekend. Sure you'll have to work TOMORROW but at least you didn't have to work YESTERDAY
Monday: Extension of weekend, see Sunday
Tuesday: I will take Monday off and have a 4 day weekend! (see Sunday)
Thursday: I will take Friday off and have a 4 day weekend!
Friday: No brainer.
Saturday: No brainer.
Wednesday is THE WORST DAY FOR ANY SORT OF HOLIDAY. Get with it, America. Do like the Pilgrims and Native Americans with Thanksgiving and plan your crappy birthday to be the first Friday of July. You didn't even serve birthday cake at your birthday this year. Lame.
