Best Wishes on this July 4th

Steaks and ribs have been grilled and subsequently consumed.

The dog is munching on bones and the cats are enjoying the fat.

Humans are full and are sitting around watching "10,000 BC".

The only fly in the ointment is that I only had two Sierra Nevadas, and they are now gone.

Pop-its have been popped and a preemptive Morning Glory has been set off, with the rest to be held in reserve until it gets dark. At this time sparklers will also be sparkled.

But best of all, I was able to tell my 9 year old why such festivities were observed.

Life is good.
