To our neighbor to the North, who we have attacked the most times in our history, thank you.

They also didn't all agree on all social and political issues, only that whatever they collectively decide would be better independent of England or any other monarchy.

Usual agenda today. Spruced up the yard, went for a morning ride, then startd cooking lunch during the Nathan's Hot Dog contest. I ate TWO total for combined women's and men's events.

Now watching Independence Day on BluRay.

Maybe hop in the pool

Later, eating watermelon out front in lawn chairs while playing with NC legal fire in the street.. and watching the heavy artillery the neighbors have from a safe distance. Saving my good stuff for another occasion TBD.

Might hop back in the pool under the full moon eclipse before going to bed.

Of course it turns out to be a bit too dramatic to be 100% true..

How Accurate Is 'The Price They Paid' Essay?

A popular essay outlines the fates of the signers of the Declaration of Independence, but many of its details are inaccurate.

Happy 4th !
When in Southern MT around the July holiday one must hike the beehive basin and if bold enough, do the 4th of July couloir. Seeing how the holiday falls on a weekend and it’s a very popular spot we got it in yesterday, a day early.

Part way there at the beehive lake with the couloir at 12:00 over George’s head

The last push up the couloir

The greatest country in the world and thanks to those who made possible.

It's hot outside. No snow. What to do?

This may not celebrate the real reason for today, but it yet another way to celebrate....

Happy 4th of July. To all of the USA based members of our community. Stay safe and enjoy.

And do not forget to toast perdition to those perfidious Brits. I was able to stab one today and draw blood. But admittedly as a dual citizen, it was not the smartest thing to do and was a result of not paying attention while slicing mushrooms ...

Rock and roll, USA!

With all the craziness going on in our world, this 4th of July just hasn't seemed quite the same.

We had a neighborhood full of Hispanic and Latino immigrants celebrating in the street with legal fireworks, LOTS of little kids all celebrating the American Dream, I also had a few slightly illegal fireworks but kept them quarantined to our property, I don't do things that fly more than 30 feet. I gave the two boxes of sparklers to our next door neighbor to hand out to their little kids. My kids are teenagers more interested in video games lately. All in all a great night with great neighbors.

A lot of the municipal fireworks shows were canceled in the SLC area last night, but I think it was a good night for amateur displays as folks took it upon themselves. We went out to a view point in the foothills to see what we could see anyway and it was a good show, but so random the flashes and pops sounded like a war zone.

They also didn't all agree on all social and political issues, only that whatever they collectively decide would be better independent of England or any other monarchy.

Hope their statues are intact

Can someone merge this thread Scott started in Chez Ziggy yesterday in to this one?

Happy Fourth of July!
