I've noticed this in a few posts...what's with the hash tags? Does twitter pick up threads on CP when they're hash tagged or something?

Why do we say "Happy Fourth of July" instead of "Happy Independence Day"? The latter sounds cooler.

Happy holiday to CP's USA users regardless of the nomenclature .

I just quote entire tweets. Sometimes the hashtag is part of the joke. Or it could lead you to a good feed.

Happy July 4 to the roughly 110,000 to 125,000 American citizens living in Calgary and the bunches of others in other places.

Last 4th of July we happened to be in Twin Falls Idaho. It was really something to see - the patriotism on display is much different than Canada Day. There were plenty of people dressed as Uncle Sam, and everyone had their own fire-works.

Here are the events scheduled today (metro area of 100,000):

http://magicvalley.com/news/local/mi...f3dd109ee.html

7 a.m.: Fourth of July Fun Run, 5K/10K Duathlon, Lincoln Park, 8th and D Street, Rupert
11 a.m.: Rupert Fourth of July Parade, Rupert Square
2 p.m.: Horse races at the Rupert Downs, Minidoka County Fairgrounds
3 p.m.: Celebrate Freedom concerts at the Heyburn Riverside Park amphitheater
4 p.m.: Carnival opens at the Minidoka County Fairgrounds
Dusk: Fireworks at the Burley Municipal Golf Course Marina

We're not perfect, but we're pretty good. Well, we're alright.
