Beginning of the holiday week

It was busy in the office today, so busy we worked an hour and half extra.  Just can't leave co-workers in a jam.  One older man came in and asked why we had all the US flags out and the red, white and blue decorations.  I said because Independence Day is coming.  He didn't think that was"all that important."  He was also drooling down his beard.  He paid for a $2.50 bill with a $100 bill.  I used our special pen to make sure he wasn't making his own money.  We also have over 100 kids from the east coast tenting in the park, what a pain - they use their charge card for even a pack of gum.  There is a total fireworks ban in effect and a big fine if anyone wants to set off a few.  We heard tomorrow there will be a campfire and charcoal fire ban.  It is so hot and dry here that the chance of a forest fire at super great.
