Hot again yesterday - not quite as bad as it was the previous few days, but not the kind of day an old cardiac patient should be doing much outside during the heat of the day. I did make it out on the bike early and put in six miles, though. I spent the rest of the day reading and watching television. The morning and afternoon shows were the usual programing - cowboys and cooking shows. Later in the day it became 250th celebrations and another rainstorm. I wasn't too impressed with the ABC affiliates programming, but the PBS show from Colonial Williamsburg was quite good. The Big Cheese from Williamsburg did a short speech tying the founders and the Declaration to what we should be doing now. I'm a big fan of history, but as they say, if you don't learn from history, you're doomed to repeat it, or words to that effect.
The music above has a vague tie-in to yesterday's celebration, but mostly I picked them because I like them. The blog is my start page when I log in, and I'll usually play a tune or two before I check my regular spots every morning. I good tune is always a great start to the day.
Cooler weather is forecast for the upcoming few days, so I'll be looking to get some things accomplished before it heats up again. The days are flying by now. Lots of work to do in the shop but with the rain and the heat there'll be lots of yardwork to do as well. No rest for the wicked.

Oh Man... that Edwin Hawkins Singers tune hasn't touched my ears in over fifty years. It puts my memory in a place. And between then and now, Jesus did for me what they sung about. Celebrated the 4th here with fireworks of all favorite calibers, including a small canon shot that was heard around the world, or at least the countryside.
Happy 250th to you and the missus, and cheers from Kentucky.

Good to hear from you! We just celebrated with the television and hot dogs cooked in the microwave. With the heat, humidity and the wife's broken ankle, staying home seemed to be the wisest option. The Edwin Hawkins tune has always been a favorite of mine. Good reminder that happiness comes from within along with a little help from above.
