Happy 247th birthday to the United States of America. And I thought I was old.
May your fireworks burn brighter and longer than ever today, gheorghies. Just don't lose any digits today -- I mean like JPP, not Phil or Rikki.
Spend time today in free revelry, and enjoy the excitement only a free man can feel, as Red once said.
Maybe think about what and why we celebrate.
And maybe just drink some beer and listen to some good old America music. Not American music, per se, since these guys went to high school and subsequently got their start in London (though 2/3 were indeed American), but America music. America. The band.
Especially a song about the open highway and driving around in the sunshine in a car that Z would love and Dave would hate. A song that coined the term Purple Rain.
What the hell, let's take that Purple Rain thing a little further and offer up the Purple One himself... singing "America." It could only get more American if this live clip had been recorded on July... or been in the US. Oh well.
Happy Birthday, America.
(The country.)

someone just set off a very loud firework really close to my house. 'merica!
Before 10 am? That's rude and a little pointless, no?
A donkey on my block decided to set off what sounded like a series of M-80s at 8 am. I'm not sure which donkey it was but I have my suspicions.
since you asked, i'm randomly pretty excited to see chet holmgren get on an nba court. people are gonna be (rightly) focused on wemby. i think chet's gonna be really good.
about to find out how ibuprofen, gummies, and beer work on lower back pain. the lesson: don't work out on the 4th of july. it's unamerican.
Ouch Rob.
My husband just left for the hospital to visit church member who was on a ladder that collapsed under him earlier today. Broke 6 ribs, punctured lung, broken hip. He’s in ICU. Maybe 68 years old. OY!
Hope y’all’s 4th is fun and safer than that!
yikes. and i thought my footcramp was brutal.
247 is the least significant of all the numbers.
watching smashmouth play live on cnn with the nyc fireworks on full display. as the founders intended.
Back home on the couch after a late afternoon/evening party with the Bizzaros and Co. Peaced out when the people who’d been drinking all day started setting off thousands of dollars of fireworks.
Happy 4th.
the bizzaros are the florida version of the sopranos?
