Happy 4th of July from Field Gulls!
It feels like it’s taken an eternity to even get to this part of the year, but we have finally reached Independence Day in the United States. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, “normal” celebrations in the form of extremely large public gatherings are strongly discouraged if not outright banned. We still get fireworks shows and Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest, so not everything is disappearing for the year.
I didn’t do a Casual Friday yesterday because I decided that today would be the off-topic open thread. July 4th is normally a time to eat, eat, and eat some more.
