You have to love a nation that celebrates its independence every July 4, not
with a parade of guns, tanks, and soldiers who file by the White House in a show
of strength and muscle, but with family picnics where kids throw Frisbees, the
potato salad gets iffy, and the flies die from happiness. You may think
you have overeaten, but it is patriotism--Erma Bombeck

. Happy Independence Day to all my fellow Americans. Celebrate in true style by eating too much food and drinking too much beer. Watch fireworks, wear red, white and blue and have a grand ol' day.


BTW, Peggy & Melissa, I think I got the blog fixed.
