Happy birthday America: 250 years

We're doing burgers tomorrow. Since I'm cooking, may try and do a hybrid andy-wala burger.

If I eliminate the burger, I'll never hear the end of it.

We’re doing hot dogs, potato salad, deviled eggs, corn on the cob, baked beans, green salad, and peach cobbler with vanilla ice cream

Should be a wild weekend in Chicago.

The body count should be published on Monday. Tuesday at the latest.

Holiday Weekend!​

We may or may not be traveling, so updates might be sporadic.

The heat is sticking around for a little while, but there's a good chance of rain in the forecasts every day. Some people are off Friday and others are extending their weekend to take in Monday.

Therefore, we're going to set the Holiday Weekend Casualty Prediction Model as follows:

• 1700 hours Friday until 0500 hours Monday

A full 60 hours. And we'll make a wild stab at the numbers:

• 8 dead, 20 wounded

As a tie-breaker, we'll predict 2 "mass" shootings (four casualties regardless of ending body temperature).

As a further tie-breaker, we're going to predict a single firework death involving some sort of mortar round. If anyone knows how to track missing fingers, toes and eyeballs, let us know - we can't seem to find a HeyJackass.com category for those.

Make your guesses, place your bets, and stay safe.

Officers Shot​

Sketchy details, but both are reportedly doing okay....as okay as you can be after being shot:

• Two Chicago police officers were shot on the city's South Side Friday evening, sources told CBS News Chicago.
  
  Reports of officers down near 79th and Chappel on the border of South Shore and South Chicago shortly after 5 p.m.
  
  Multiple sources with knowledge of the situation said the incident began as a traffic stop. One officer was struck in the vest, the other in the arm. The sources said both officers are expected to be OK and are at University of Chicago Medical Center where their conditions are stable.
  
  The civilian was taken to Northwestern Medical Center for treatment. Their condition was not immediately known.

Amazing how SeeBS calls the OFFENDER a "civilian" instead of gunman or "alleged" shooter or something. We sure wish the police would get that kind of biased reporting once in a while.

The OFFENDER is supposedly in critical condition after taking at least one round to the torso. Hopefully, he dies of internal bleeding or sepsis or something misery inducing. **** SeeBS, too.

Best wishes and get well soon Officers.
