Believe it or not, the Declaration of Independence was written on a “laptop.” Okay, not the kind we use today, but Thomas Jefferson did draft it on a writing desk designed to fit over one’s lap, which was referred to as a “laptop” at the time. ?? Here are some other fun facts about the Fourth of July??: Fireworks and Early Celebrations: The first Fourth of July fireworks show took place in Philadelphia in 1777. This celebration included cannons and bells to honor the 13 original colonies. Early settlers brought their love of fireworks to the New World, a tradition that continues today. Americans now spend over $1 billion annually on fireworks, with only 10% of displays being professional. This likely contributes to the estimated 12,900 firework-related emergency room visits each year. Interestingly, nearly 70% of these injuries, which occur between June and July, are experienced by men. Flag Code Violations: Many of us own flag-themed items like t-shirts, beach towels, shorts, or headbands. However, displaying the U.S. flag on merchandise technically violates the U.S. Flag Code. The code states that using the flag to “advertise, call attention to, decorate, mark, or distinguish” any item is prohibited. Fortunately, this aspect of the Flag Code is neither enforced nor enforceable, so you won’t be in trouble for your patriotic attire. Hot Dogs Galore: The Fourth of July is synonymous with barbecues and hot dogs. According to the National Sausage and Hot Dog Council (NHDSC), Americans are expected to consume 150 million hot dogs during the holiday. This is just a fraction of the estimated 7 billion hot dogs eaten throughout the summer, from Memorial Day to Labor Day. Rum and Revolutionary Celebrations: On the second anniversary of Independence Day in 1778, George Washington ordered American soldiers to receive double rations of rum to celebrate the holiday. So, there you have it: laptops, hot dogs, code violations, ER visits, and rum all have unique connections to the Fourth of July. Enjoy your holiday, stay safe, and savor the celebrations! Advantage Route Systems will be closed July 4. Enjoy the day celebrating!

Your first thought might be to kill these ladybugs & suck them up with a vac, but "violent" removal isn’t recommended ?? because when ladybugs feel threatened, they release a smelly pheromone that can attract other ladybugs. ?????? It's best to naturally deter them with scents they dislike (like citronella) & fill gaps beneath doors & around windows to prevent them from entering. #homeinspection

raccoons are renowned for their inquisitiveness and knack for sneaking into places they shouldn't, such as beneath a deck. They can harm the deck's structure and create chaos by ripping apart insulation. To deter raccoons from accessing your deck, examine the area for possible entry points and close any openings or crevices. Another strategy is to set up a barrier around the deck's perimeter, buried underground. Eliminate potential food sources and maintain cleanliness to make the area less attractive to raccoons. If raccoons have already taken shelter under your deck, it is advisable to seek professional assistance for their removal. By taking preventive actions, you can safeguard your deck and property.
