    Default Have a happy 4th

    I can't believe that our American cousins havn't posted this yet!

    Anyway have a great 4th you colonials you.
    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    I'm sure someone will be along shortly to enlighten you.

    I suspect our American friends are too busy having parties to post much here.

    Have a fabulous Independence Day!

    Actually, I mowed the lawn this morning because it finally stopped raining long enough to do it without leaving muddy tire tracks. Now if only the temperature will rise above 60F maybe we can have our barbeque & fireworks and not have to wear winter coats. At least we shouldn't run out of ice trying to keep the beer cold.

    4th what?
    Think of it as a celebration of a successful Guy Fawkes operation.

    More like too busy sleeping. It was six in the morning here when IA posted his OP, i was just going to bed.

    Since the 4th falls on a Saturday my family and I probably won't be doing much of anything until tomorrow. Nothing like sunday cookouts.
