Happy 4th of July, everyone.
Ken made some BBQ sammiches, I fixed some sides and our daughter found some really cool decorative picks for the BBQ. Wonderful time.
After dinner, we did illegal fireworks in our culture de sac. 😄😄😃
I want another glass of wine but I don't want to disturb the two. Oh well.
Our neighborhood court party was canceled today due to an illness. Back up plans. Headed to the wineries. What else would we do today?
How are you celebrating your fourth?
Shortly after the Revolutionary War, the American war hero Ethan Allen was in London for some business.
His hosts were very patriotic Englishmen, so there was inevitably some tension between them.
One day, they acquired a portrait of George Washington and hung it in their outhouse, so that you could only see it when you were seated and the door was closed.
After Ethan came in from using it later that day, they asked him if he noticed anything different. He said he noticed the portrait.
When asked what he thought of it, he replied that he found it very appropriate for an Englishman to put it there.
His confused hosts pressed him for an explanation, to which he replied, "Nothing makes an Englishman shit quicker than the sight of General Washington."
Mornin.
