Two hundred twenty-eight years

Yikes. This is one dark and stormy Fourth of July. It’s been thundering and pouring rain most of the day so far. Yesterday I had thought we might go picnicking by the river tonight and watch the fireworks, but now, not so much.

In any case, happy Independence Day. Here’s to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. “And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.”
