Happy 4th buddies..

May everyone have a happy 4th of July.
And never forget the reason for celebrating.

Thank you for the well wishes, Canadian friend.
I must say, I never thought I'd come to a place when the celebration of July 4th would seem even remotely hollow, but here we are. How do you celebrate independence and the nation who defended it so bravely for 200+ years, when you're watching your fellow citizens embrace dependence, and throw that nation into the fire?
I'll be spending the day with my wife and child, enjoying the water, fishing, picnicking, swimming, and watching fireworks. Going through the July 4th motions, making the best of it.
Everyone be safe, and thank you all for your friendship.

I'll be at work until tomorrow evening. Enjoy it afterwards, my friend. Hoist a couple in honor of the founding fathers who gave so much to make this country what it was.

Thank you. Though there's no way it can reasonably be called "Independence Day" anymore (the US government is far more involved in our lives than the King ever was) it is fitting to reflect on what the Founders did on that oppressively hot day in Philadelphia. We are going to eventually have to do something on a similar scale.
As an aside, anyone notice Google's graphic for today? It recognizes the 4th, but not in any obvious way. Absolutely no flag, symbol, or anything recognizable as American. The only reason it chaps my ass is because in comparison they're so conspicuous in how they honor the most esoteric PC nonsense.

Today our family paid tribute to our ancestors that served in the War of Independence. The eldest member to serve was a captain and at some point he was specifically released from service (by Geo Washington!) to return home to fight the Indians on the "frontier". The life of his family and neighbors was not easy. But it gives me pause to imagine that despite its hardships it was better than what they left in the old country.
God Bless America!

My neighbors and I are flying our flags at half mast.

The day means nothing to me today with the usurper president. I will consider the sacrifices the Founders and those soldiers that embraced the calling committed to bring forth a great nation conceived in liberty and dedicated to the concept that all me were created equal by Nature's God.
I took a day off because nobody was open and I'm sick of working my ass off. Instead I installed the "new" gas range today and test it out. No complaints thus far.

I spent the day cleaning and reorganizing my reloading bench. Setup my dies for .45 Auto and began working up a load for some new hollow point bullets I ordered. That's how I choose to honor the day.

I got home from work and after dinner with the wife we just got done watching Sargent York. Just a nice quiet day and a great old movie.
