Thank you Peter! I'm battling a major head cold but I vow to beat this thing!!! Hahahahaha
I am in charge of a huge party Monday night - we're hoping 500+ people - at my golf course. Our clubhouse is up on a big hill and has a sensational view of the fireworks they shoot off in the baseball stadium downtown Palm Springs.
I went out last week and bought 420 sparklers for the kids, tons of pinwheels, flags and other 4th related stuff".
We're going to have a 9 hole kid's fun-putt thing on the putting green and a closest to the pin contest for the grownups on the first hole of the one course which is right in front of the clubhouse.
There will be a station for red, white & blue margaritas (or slushies for the kids), one station for beer and then the bar will be open inside for anything else. There will be a big BBQ station and a popsicle station.
Wish you all could come!

Joey, you stole my thunder, thankyou.
On Independence Day is fitting for us to consider the state of the world, to reflect on our own personal freedoms, and to appreciate the great sacrifices that have protected them through the years.

"Taxation without Representation is Tyranny!" -- James Otis, c. 1761
That was the battle cry of the American Revolution, in case somebody tries to tell you different.
Remember, the signers of the Declaration were British. Taxes were imposed by Parliament, and British subjects had the right to vote for its Members -- unless they happened to live in the colonies overseas. Well, lots of colonials along the Atlantic coast finally had enough of that. Too bad Lord North wouldn't listen, and King George didn't care.

Taxation without Representation" appears on the Wash. DC car Tags. Some things never change.
By the way, DC will end it's celebration with a dry run (no pun intended) of its mass evacuation plan for terrorism tonight. Happy Independence Day indeed.

If you're free today . . . . .
If you're havin' a nice day, or even an argument with your family. . .
If your 'fridge is full, you have electricity . . .
If you're workin' to make money to spend as you please . . .
Or if you kickin' back enjoyin' the scent of the grill . . .
If there are no armed militia walking around in your mall . . .
If no bombs have blown up any busses or buildings on your street, or in your town. . . .
