HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY!

And lest we forget amidst the fireworks that frighten our animals until they need doggie and cat downers and the excessive (and delicious) foods being barbecued, this is the anniversary of the founding of our nation!

So let us please honor the ideals (and the Constitution) that provided our country with a standard of living unequaled in this world and has provided our people with the freedom to be as creative and generous as we have always been.
