Two hundred and forty years ago today the United States of America was born.
Unlike most Americans I do say "Happy Independence Day" rather than "Happy 4th of July".
Do we call Christmas "the 25th of December"? No.
Do we call any other holiday by the date rather than the reason? Hell no.
Okay, the Mexicans have Cinco de Mayo but a Mexican I work with told me Mexicans in Mexico don't celebrate Cinco de Mayo. It's an American holiday created to sell beer according to him.
Anyway I still have to work tonight so won't be raising any Hell until tomorrow morning. I will, however cook a few burgers on the grill and maybe make a side of either tater salad or baked beans.
I picked up a refill on my propane tank the other day so I'll be cooking out as much as possible instead of getting the house any hotter than need be.
History Channel has been showing many programs about the Revolution as of late and history geek that I am watch as much as possible between chores in & outside.
