Down the street to swim in neighbor's pool and then back home to host annual neighborhood lobster feast. Then to front yard to light fireworks gathered on travels thru South Carolina. If I blow off my hand I will have difficulty posting here.

Leaving Sat. for 10 days in Playa del Carmen, Mexico.
Unfortunately, there is a presidential election, and no liquor sales for the first two days we will be there.
Fortunately, there is a 1 liter per person liquor import allowance to Mexico!

Diana - without turning this thread political - if the US banned alcohol sales for 2 days around elections, would it improve or degrade the results? What if they made alcohol consumption mandatory before voting?

gail, I guess Mexico has a history of more volatile elections than the U.S., ergo the ban.
The election is on Sunday, I think.
From the wording on the edict, it appears they are doing it to allay chances of violence.
Unfortunately, if they made drinking prior to/during an election mandatory here in the States, I imagine voter apathy would be even worse than it is.
Interesting question!

Perhaps mandatory drinking at the polling site prior to voting could solve the potential voter apathy problem?
Off to Cape Cod with what seems like at least 50% of the population of New England, but not by choice!

We are staying home and having a few bar b que's over the weekend, watch the local fireworks and have lots of Margaritas. Most of my travels will be to the market and the liquor store.
I love to cook so it's like a vacation for me - and I get to show off a little We are planning 3 different "themes" this year....Caribbean Grill, Lobster fest and All American...I love to entertain.
We usually like being home for hoilday weekends as everything is so crowded.
We are leaving for Captiva on the 9th...I hear there's actually sunshine down there! Being on LI we have had more rain than sun.

We are driving from St. Louis to Madison, WI for the long holiday weekend. It will be a relaxing road trip, and we are bringing the dog. Nothing too exciting, but its always nice to get away.

Someone mentioned "natural" doggie downers for the poor little pups that shiver and pant at the 1st sound of fireworks. Can you pass along what this is and if it works?
I have to board my pup on July 4th - he literally passed out one year from getting himself so riled up!
