As associate editor of our mobile home park magazine, I am responsible for several pages, including the flyer for the monthly social event. So I was pleased when the person in charge of the July Fourth Potluck brought me a rough draft of what he wanted said. Thank you, John. A bit later I got around to reading the copy:
JULY 4TH POTLUCK AND HOTDOGS
Monday, July 4, 1911
I phoned him to say that I doubted I could make the event. Why not? I wasn't even born then. When I told him why, he laughed and said he wasn't, either.I asked him if he had some sort of time travel involved. Not that he knew of. I don't even know if July 4 in 1911 was on a Monday.

I just had a little fun with google. It fell on a Tuesday. There are some nifty pictures of Independence Day events, and ooh, a nasty heat wave.
