pioneer day

here in utah {and possibly in other LDS communities} it is pioneer day. widely celebrated and including the day off from work, fireworks, BBQ and other festivities. i like to relate it to a mormon version of the 4th of july. people get festive and put flags up in the yard. i even saw a woman this morning decked out in pioneer garb {think big flowy skirt, apron, bonnet--yes she was wearing a bonnet}. utah natives are crazy in love with pioneer day. i think it's great and all, but i'm convinced that i'm not part of the club because i wasn't "born and raised" here to fully appreciate it. oh well. i can still watch fireworks and i still get to leave work at 1:30 today because of it.
