    Just a gentle reminder to go have a nice day at the park this July 4th ;)
    (We won't have another Saturday July 4th for 11 years)

    rld@Intrepid:~$ for x in {1970..2099}; do cal july $x |grep -q "^ *1  2  3  4 *$" && echo $x; done
    1970
    1981
    1987
    1992

    P.S., interestingly, it follows a repeating pattern of 11, 6, 5, 6:

    rld@Intrepid:~$ y=0; for x in 1970 1981 1987 1992 1998 2009 2015 2020 2026 2037 2043 2048 2054 2065 2071 2076 2082 2093 2099; do ((y!=0)) && echo $((x-y)); y=$x; done
    11
    6

    rld@Intrepid:~$ 
    

    It seems that's the pattern for all repeating calendars. I tried the same with January, and it had the same pattern.
