HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY

God bless our great nation and those serving to protect it. My favorite Pop Culture statement regarding the 4th is from the Simpson's, "celebrate your country by blowing up a small piece of it".

Every year we have a huge party here at our place. We use to head off to Wyoming to buy illegal fireworks (yes, we have broken the law). In Colorado anything that leaves the ground is illegal, so if you want anything decent, you head north. But since the drought we've been suffering with for several years, we haven't done that. Which is nice because we don't have to worry about the cops showing up again while our guests are scrambling to hide our fireworks.

Anyhoo . . . One year when my husband went to Wyoming, there was a state trooper there at the store he was purchasing our illegal fun at. He was a bit concerned about the officer being there and even more so when said officer started bagging my husband's purchases. Discretely panicking while taking his packages, the trooper leaned over and said to my husband "Just drive the speed limit, you should be okay then. They can't stop you if you aren't doing anything wrong." That pretty much sums up Wyoming.

Oh, and MuNu; I've pretty much had it with them. I've decided to take the leap and get my own domain. Although I suck at the blogging thing these days, I'd rather spend my pocket change to save some headaches.

Take care, and don't drink and drive.

Just let us know when you actually do take the leap.

And sweetie, you don't "suck" at the blogging thing - you're pretty damned good at it!!

Hope you had a great Fourth!
