I hope the Ft.Carson show is the best ever though, and sorry about your guys big show. Happy 4th!

hmmm that is not good, oh well you know they might have decided it wasnt making money and would be time better spent with family....

no reason co springs shouldn't have any money. the taxes that were payed when i lived there were unbelievable

I never been to a place before other than Colo Springs where when you were selling something to someone they would ask " so when do I need to pay you?" this happened alot.

laziness...

wow...so derik you got something I need to buy that I can get on the colo springs plan you know "I will pay you....at some point"

No worky like that sir.

OK, back to Independence Day...
Thanks to our many veterans, past and present - thank you for your service.
When and where did you serve?

USS Mullinnix DD 944, homeport: Charleston SC, 1976-1980 Middle East deployment 1978 Persian Gulf (lots of shark fishing)

BRAVO.

There is no possibility that our founding fathers, wise as they were, could have imagined the complexity of the world we live in today. We process more information a single hour than they came across in their entire lifetimes. The pressure that this puts on individuals, groups, organizations, communities, states, and ultimately our nation is incomprehensible even to us. So it's natural that we're going to screw it up. A lot.

While they couldn't possibly have imagined our world today, they certainly did have the wisdom to equip us with fundamental principles that to most of us, I argue, are stronger than any others conceived before or since. We honor those principles when we engage in meanginful debate and powerful dissent, all while staying grounded in what holds us together - the fact that we recognize their sacrifices and honor their vision for a society in which people weren't constrained by their station at birth, and in which everyone could participate in government - and governance.

It may seem like we've strayed far from the course those brilliant and courageous men set for us. Perhaps we have. But we're not so far afield that we can't stop for a few minutes today, look someone else in the eye, and share the thought that no matter what we might believe about our situation today, we're happy to be Americans, we're proud to be Americans, and we're in it together as Americans.

Thanks for your post, Dusty.

happy 4th guys!


now, FIREWORKS TIME

So far I have had pancakes for breakfast, grilled hot dogs for lunch, and a six pack of the high life with some ribeyes for dinner, topped off with the city of Austin Fireworks show.
I love the 4th of July.

...and now you're living...the high life.

-Have Fun!
