Yes it is!
It's funny that it's the only time I have bitched about getting rain in July..............other than when I was a kid and it happened to be raining on 4th of July and I couldn't pop my fireworks!
My Pop used to tease the hell outta me the closer it came to the 4th or New Years. We'd pass by a fireworks stand and Pop would exclaim, "FIREWORKS!" He knew how much I loved my Black Cat firecrackers!
Sure, I popped a bunch on those days, but I saved most for later! I had lots of army men, bunkers and cat turds to blow up in my sandbox!
