Enjoy all the festivities as the US celebrates Independence Day. Hopefully the weather cooperates for all of you.

    Thanks, man.
    I like Ray's version best. He STARTS with THIS verse. The courage and sacrifice must be remembered and honored--- though the whole "American exceptionalism" thing, I do not buy.
    O beautiful for heroes proved
    In liberating strife.
    Who more than self their country loved
    And mercy more than life!
    America! America!
    May God thy gold refine
    Till all success be nobleness
    And every gain divine!

    Thanks for noting that Crash. The verses beyond the first on our anthem and the song above are rarely heard and they should be performed more often.

    Unfortunately Arthur might ruin actual fireworks here, but not for Homer!



    Happy 4th, everyone!

    Hear, hear.

    Weather looks to be picture perfect here in CA Central Coast.

    Parades, music, veggie burgers, tofu hot dogs, organic chips, Rhone wine and fireworks =).

    Happy 4th, 2014!

    Yuh ... despite the fact that we have an unprecedented amount of riverfront this week, our riverfront celebration of the Fourth has been canceled.
