So here it is again.
The day we Americans celebrate the birth of our nation.
Of course quite a few of our ancestors had been coming here for over a hundred years.
And, across the pond (as the Atlantic Ocean is whimsically called), they have a different view on the day.

Nevertheless, we shall celebrate with parades, flag waving, grilling and consuming vast amounts of alcohol, and then the fireworks.
Some folks got an early start on that.
Prescott, for example, had their big fireworks show last weekend.
And I heard 5 or six explosions and saw flashes in the sky here last night.
Those, of course, are illegal and, like someone who set some off just before the Prescott show and nearby, they started a brush fire.
It's dry out there, folks.
Leave it to the professionals.
But anyway here's one more tip of the hat (and the glass?) to our 247th birthday.
