Even though I found myself nostalgic for last year’s Sitka celebration with my patients saran-wrapped in ponchos throwing candy into mud puddles, this year’s 4^thcelebration was definitely All-American. I began by mustering my greatest patriotic spirit and having a group of my little old ladies make flag-inspired sugar cookies. However, I may have selected my decorator unwisely as she admitted to being legally blind and squirted icing all over the counter, her hands, the tray–everywhere but on the cookies. Later last night I headed downtown as recommended for the annual “Mayor’s 4^th of July Celebration” on the Arkansas River:

Hundreds of free fans fluttering, more to shoo away flies than keep cool
Mr. Cabbagehead and the Screaming Radishes—jazzy produce
Plates heaped with burgers, hot dogs…. A man stopped me to ask for help opening a mayonnaise packet since his fingers were too slippery from the first 7
Grasshoppers tapping on shoulders
Local orchestra playing Stars and Stripes Forever while all little people involuntarily and uncontrollably began bouncing and rolling in the grass

The fireworks display surprised everyone who had strategically positioned their chairs facing the river by shooting off far behind the park, likely shoved off course by the pushy Arkansas River. It was a glittery and sparkly show, but lacked what cues most people to go home—a grand finale. Finally after a period of dark and silence, a Radish, the mayor or some other perceptive soul grabbed the mic to say, “Um, What a Great Display! Thanks for Coming!” and everyone obligingly packed up. Once I got home, I found the lost finale: the culmination of a week-long pyromaniac festival on my street. (Maybe a lawless perk of straddling the border in this area cleverly called “Arklahoma”)

Whatever bun-filled meals filled your belly, flames fed your eyes, and music tapped your toes, hope you had a Happy 4^thof July!

“Patriotism is supporting your country all the time, and your government when it deserves it.” Mark Twain
