Ah, 4th of July! A day of sleeping in. A day of the smells of BBQ and smoke drifting down the street from the park. A day of heat and the threat of rain. A day of afternoon drinking and all day eating. A day of remembering that even though our country has improvements to make, we have many wonderful freedoms too.
In short, a day of awesomeness.
Happy 4th of July, one and all.
Comedy or Tragedy?

Happy 4th of July! Currently in a Williamsburg cafe reading Absent 🙂

I should really send you the most recent version…but I’m so glad you’re reading it! Also, what on earth are you doing in Williamsburg? 😉
Vlad
B parked me in a cafe while working on some chocolate stuff in the neighborhood :).
I’m totally fine reading this version (5). Major changes between 5 and 6?

Ah, I should have guessed! No, the changes are editing level not story level.

Our neighborhood has a parade every Fourth of July that begins at my house and goes to the clubhouse. Our local fire station sends a huge truck to lead the parade.
I drove a Land Rover, manufactured in England, at the rear of the parade. Nobody egged me.

Lou, one of the things I love about you is that I never know if you are joking or not 😉
Happy 4th!
