I misread that as "Happy Indigestion Day"

Just out of curiosity, if you approached 10 eight graders and asked them what historical event is being celebrated on the 4th of July, how many would give the right answer?

Well, our plans for today changed radically. I had two primo tickets to the Royals game today, but I seem to have lost my billfold with the tickets inside (fortunately, I have my debit card and drivers license in my pocket). So, while Selene studies, Kaleigh and I have gone out and bought explosive devices, chicken, corn on the cob and beer. The yardbird is now gloriously slow smoking on the charcoal side of my new grille, and I am drinking a cold Sam Adams Boston Lager while monitoring the process.

Later, the kids are coming over to ignite the fireworks we bought.

It would only reflect the larger issue that few of them can locate Iraq on a map.

We did fireworks at a friends house on the way home from the Adirondacks. The explosives are illegal to sell in New York so they were imported from PA and Mexico... naturally the main fuse man was a NYS Trooper, this lead to a discussion about the stupid number of laws this freeish country has.

Larger issue?
