We didn't really celebrate the 4th of July per se, because [helpless gestures at the news / not really patriotic even in times of lessened fascism / I'm Welsh anyway so it feels odd / etc.], but we decided that after having fun handing out hot dogs on Halloween last year, we should take the opportunity to hand out hot dogs from our ranger station. I was proud of my alternate USFS logo.
