Freedom of Thought
Hmmm. It's coming. I'm not quite sure what I want to say on this Independence Day. There's a lot that's been weighing on my mind as we look toward November. I'm still mulling it over. Maybe I'll have thoughts tomorrow.
For now, It's the 4th of July. Eat something grilled outside.
We're cookin' with gas, ya'll.

Went to the Grand Lake (the place with the marquee that keeps turning up, stating their refusal to enforce the R rating, woot) to see the new Michael Moore film. The matinee was packed. Lots of grandparently types, in their red white and blue apparel, being patriotic, registering voters, and flexing their free speech muscles. It made me teary.
Then I had some ribs. Aw yeah.
Happy 4th.
