Yesterday was Independence Day, a day which commemorates the adoption of the Declaration of Independence from the tea drinkers of Great Britain back in 1776. Many of our neighbors were celebrating the birth of our great country by destroying little pieces of it – thank goodness for the legalization of fireworks in our state a couple of years ago.
I haven’t been feeling well the last couple of days so we didn’t do anything spectacular for the 4th. In fact, I was asleep before the start of the big fireworks show our neighborhood puts on each year. I did, however, watch some television before bed. One of the channels was running the movie Independence Day all day long yesterday so I caught a little of that. There are not many redcoats in that movie but plenty of aliens. I don’t want to criticize the good folks running that channel but maybe The Patriot would have been a little more appropriate.
