Respect for the Holiday

In the interest of national security, faith, and all that is good, I have decided not to post or write today.

Aw, Hell, the real problem is that I'm tired. The news has been crazy--from bizarre car accidents downstate to the insanity of national and international events--and exhausting. Keeping up with Banana and the rest of the family demands has been exhausting. (Add to that firing a cannon at the annual Third of July Party.) Really, from the pain of downloading today's pictures on a D50 I was playing with to saturation of everything else, I'm just in the mood to sit. And read. Michael Pollan's The Omnivore's Dilemma. More--much more--about that later.

Be well, and raise a glass to the country. And to the hope that we can win it back one of these days.
