Gordie’s Midday Gossip - 4th of July....Do nothing

Got any plans for Fourth of July? Does doing NOTHING count?

A new poll asked people what they’ll be up to this weekend. And the #1 thing we’re looking forward to doing is . . . nothing. (???)

43% of Americans say their plans include staying home and kicking back. It’s the most common thing we’ve got planned this weekend.

Here are a few ACTUAL things we’re doing for Independence Day

35% will spend time with family, or go to a family get-together.

33% will go to a barbecue or picnic this weekend.

16% will go to a fireworks display.

Only 10% plan to set off fireworks themselves. (Seems low.)

10% will go to a Fourth of July event, like a parade.

11% will watch some sports.

5% will go to the beach.

4% will go camping or hiking.

2% will go fishing.

And 10% said none of the above. Literally, “no plans.”
