Happy Independence Day to those of you in the USA.
And to those in the UK, you can celebrate, too--you are well rid of us.
I'm working, but it's OK--should be a quiet day. No firework displays here (wouldn't be able to see them--no darkness). We do fireworks in November when it's so cold people have to stay in their cars to watch! I won't see a real star in the sky for a couple of months but I looked up at the blue field of stars on our gaudy and unlovely flag and tried to remember what it was about: representative government, no privilege without merit.
We'd better keep fighting.

the world has a surplus of self centered sh1twh0res, so anyone who extends compassion to a stranger with sincerity is alright in my book. also people who fondle road kill. those guys is ok too. GunnedDownAtrocity
