Happy Independence Day!

To my American readers, anyway.  I hope the rest of you have a nice day, too, even if you do have to work.

I guess I have officially reached "curmudgeon" status, because this Joe Heller cartoon pretty much sums up my view of the best-known way to celebrate our nation’s birthday.

    Yep…you know you’re getting old when your big 4th of July worry is how badly the cats will freak out over the sounds of (illegal) firecrackers, and wishing the neighborhood delinquents would go somewhere else to create all that noise…

    Happy 4th! Our neighbors around the corner on the cul de sac put on an extravagant fireworks show (and it’s illegal in our county…hmmmm…connections to local authorities?) Now we just walk down with the girls and enjoy it. It makes our dog a neurotic mess, though.
