I think I will be more "independent" as the weeks and months go on. A lesson learned long ago imparted by a cat. Animals make sense. Humans, not at all.

Have a good holiday Rick. We all deserve it. It's also an opportunity to take stock and recharge for the challenge ahead.

Weird 4th vibe this year. Normally, in my area, celebrations (including fireworks) start on the 3rd. This year? Crickets. There is only 1 American flag displayed on my street. We are having the traditional neighborhood BBQ/potluck today but I think it will probably be more subdued than in the past. Maybe it’s cuz donny is signing the police state bill on the birthday of the Republic. Dunno.

No worries. I am not doing July 4th this year and most likely will not be doing the next 3 years. It used to be my absolute favorite holiday, even though I knew it didn't apply to everyone (particularly Native Americans and enslaved Africans and their descendants), but it was a start towards celebrating and ensuring freedom for all who live in this part of the North American continent.
