Independence Day

This photo was taken last year in Bridgeport, California, where there is not only a large professional fireworks display, but people are allowed to light fireworks in the street as well.

July 4 is when Americans celebrate leaving the rule of one dysfunctional government, and creating our own dysfunctional government.  The celebration is coming in one month!

  1. I've got my July 4 image ready to go online too, but glad to see this reminder from you.  In the parched Southwest, fireworks of any sort will likely be nixed, at least in New Mexico and Arizona.  I passed two HUGE forest fires near Santa Fe, New Mexico on my trip home from a vacation these last couple of weeks.  Seeing them, it is stunning and I have to agree that a pass on fireworks and even sparklers would be a good idea at this point in the summer.

  2. In 1773 one of the first major protests which led to the Revolutionary War was over a tax on tea.  Had the colonists known that the Income tax was coming in 1913 and that by a few decades later it would reach 39% federal (plus 11% California, then 11% of whatever you have left goes to sales tax if you spend it), they might have been a little more comfortable with a tax on tea!  +Isadora Sunday
