Sorry Don't know the answer to that, we're keeping quiet in the UK.

Happy birthday America!

A British friend of my daughter told her to have fun celebrating the "overthrow of your lawful government!" 😉

Think about it, is there any government that is lawful? Everyone of them needs guns and armies to maintain control of their populations.

We were visiting friends in Mammoth a couple of years ago and went with them to watch their 4th of July parade down the main street. What a blast! Darn near everyone watching seemed to know darned near everyone in the parade.

Narrowed it down to two. Politicians or Clowns. Or is that only one answer?

I didn't know so many cities had a chapter of the North American Marlin Brando Look Alikes (NAMBLA).

I like your V-Twin logo. To answer your question yes, including Castro. Even in Democracies we have this thing called "Totalitarian Democracy" were a slight majority exercises an iron fist against the minority if they don't confirm to the views of the majority.

As for tonight, a trip down the road gives me many choices from numerous bars, night clubs, fireworks, and even a wet tee shirt contest. My choice is to take the grandkids to the fireworks, although I had to think about that one. 🙂

Pet Parade & flying dog

It's a hoot Angel. The parade lasts almost an hour. Lots of goofy animals + kids on bikes, skates, ponys. We wouldn't miss it for the world. I took some video of the flying dog with the thought of posting it here, but couldn't figure out how to do it. The youtube video suffices.
