July-4, 2018. 503. It certainly is a welcome break. One-day holiday to celebrate the nation’s Independence Day. With the summer heat over California (actually a little over 86 degrees in the valley compared to over 110 degrees in some areas across the northeast), its good to stay cool at home in California (thanks to solar power!)

Excerpts from the Wikipedia Independence Day Page
“Coincidentally, both John Adams and Thomas Jefferson, the only signers of the Declaration of Independence later to serve as Presidents of the United States, died on the same day: July 4, 1826, which was the 50th anniversary of the Declaration.[14] Although not a signer of the Declaration of Independence, James Monroe, another Founding Father who was elected as President, also died on July 4, 1831. He was the third President who died on the anniversary of independence.[15] Calvin Coolidge, the 30th President, was born on July 4, 1872; so far he is the only U.S. President to have been born on Independence Day.[16]”
