Happy Fourth of July!

We Hold These Truths To Be Self-Evident, That All Men Are Created Equal…

Well star-spangle my banner and bald my eagles because it’s the Fourth of July dear reader!

The quintessentially perfect time of year to get outside and grill, toss back a cold one with the boys, smile at the faint snap, crackle, and pop of more-than-likely illegal fireworks and think “Ah, America.”

Having only recently returned from standing in Independence Hall I’ll admit I’m feeling more patriotic than usual this year.

As a fan of the written word the appreciation for the documents signed in that room cannot be overstated. Every paragraph, sentence, word, and comma are expertly placed and chosen to spell out a system of the people that would work for the people- our little constitutional republic caused some waves by being a bit of a radical departure from other systems of government at the time

The systems described within those documents weren’t perfect mind you, as any founding father would tell you, but the allowance they give us to better strive towards that more perfect union? Sign me the fuck up.

So get out today and be with the ones you love, dear reader. Enjoy our day, wave that flag, and try to go to bed with the same amount of fingers and toes as when you woke up this morning.

Happy 249th.

Until next time.

America. Fuck Yeah.
