It's July, which means JP Licks has cucumber ice cream. I bought a quart over the weekend, and will get more when I eat that. (This year I will try to remember to buy another quart around July 25, rather than going back on the 31st and hoping they have some left.) In general, I prefer Toscanini's, but AFAIK they don't make cucumber ice cream, and they change their flavors more frequently and less predictably.
Somerville's Independence Day fireworks were postponed (because of thunderstorms) from June 28th; they are now scheduled for tomorrow, July 5. So far this year, that's two patriotic holiday observances rescheduled (the other being the commemoration of the raising what may have been the first American flag, on January 1, 1776), and one canceled, the Memorial Day parade, which had been scheduled for a week before the holiday.
We're in the middle of a heat wave; I may not leave my air-conditioned apartment today, despite the lure of a farmers market in Davis Square. Yesterday the city email alert system sent out a message about the heat wave, listing places to cool off, including "Family-Friendly Activities": three public pools and one ice skating rink. (many of which it noted are closed today).
