I hope everyone takes time today to think about the independence we share and the sacrifices people have made to create and preserve it.

Others around the world are looking for the same but haven't been able to pull it off. Of course, as has always been the case, we have some screwballs in the US trying get rid of it.
So, I see we are going to get a break in the rain. It might be for a few hours but I hope its longer. I'd like to get some burgers on the grill

and head to St. Marks tonight to watch the fireworks from my boat. The City of St. Marks has a nice display every year. If fun to watch it from the river.
If it rains tonight, I'll be heading to the fishing club meeting unless it's cancelled. Sorry NFGFC, your second on the list tonight but at least you're not forgotten.

What's everyone else doing?
