Happy Independance Day to all us Yanks! WooHoo for unbridled patriotism, alcohol, and explosives all in the same long weekend, eh?
Now, of course, that's not what the 4th is all about (the alcohol and the explosives, I mean), and I know that, but you'll never hear me complaining about the 'fringe benefits'! In addition to celebrating the 'birth of my country' I also get to make stuff go BOOM!
In all seriosuness, folks, celebrate safely and, for those of you who get a long weekend out of it, enjoy your 'extra day' immensely!
