miserable...all day...*sigh* Can I come live with one of you fun people?

Man is capable of as much atrocities as he has imagination.

To err is human, to blame someone else is good management skills

People are, well, only human. We know that. The rule of law is borne out in identifying, condemning, and punishing those who violate the standards on which we all agree. This is exactly what we do in America.

I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do. I am free, no matter what rules surround me. If I find them tolerable, I tolerate them; if I find them too obnoxious, I break them. I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do.

Just came back with the wife and kids. Went to In-N-Out burger, and took it when we went to see the fireworks near the mall. The fireworks display didn't seem to last as long as last years though. Still had fun.

Thats part of the reason I always mow my grass just before forth of july and use the garden hose to spray around my yard to wet it down just to prevent that happening.

I fixed my grill and then grilled some steaks, corn, and fries (grill skills, son)ate em up and then drove my truck to my secret spot to watch fireworks without paying admission. I then proceeded to watch Independence Day in my truck whilst waiting for dark. I watched about half of the special edition, then got out of the truck to watch the show, drove to Baskin Robins and shared a banana split, got a free pint of pistachio like a boss, and then went home to watch the rest of Independence Day on my couch.

I had a good time, actually had a date yesterday lol. We went to dinner and talked for a few hours, then watched Huey Lewis and the News perform while just kicking back drinking a few beers. I got a funnelcake, nom! It was probably the best fireworks show i've ever seen and were so close they were right above us. Had a great time!
