Independence Day

This is the time of year I can live without. The town I live in goes all out for the 4th of July. Being a town on a lake they celebrate with carnival and the whole 9 yards. The population of town is about 10,000 and when the party starts it increases to right at 40,000 every year. The tourists act like they live here and expect someone else to clean up after them. It really gets to be a pain in the behind. Running stop signs is bad enough but if they're coming at you, then you have to move over and give them room. There is one really good part of the whole thing and that's when they all go back home and the town gets back to normal.
