Learning to Count

Let's see. It's July 3rd. That's what the calendar says. But the July 4th fireworks at the high school are tonight (the 3rd), not tomorrow (the 4th). There's a crafts show and other goodies up by the football field. It's the 3rd, right? Must be the 3rd. NASCAR has the same confusion. The Pepsi 400 (which used to be called the Firecracker 400 back in the good old days before sponsors) runs at Daytona tonight and it's their 4th of July race. Life can be so confusing.
