Happy Independence Day

It is the 250th anniversary of the founding of America, and this great experiment in nation building is still going. Whether you're at home with your family or out celebrating with the national pastime of blowing up a little piece of our beautiful country, Happy July 4th to all - the young and the old, the residents and visitors, those here for work and play.

It really doesn't feel like a day for celebrating. I'll feel a little better if the mid-terms actually happen, and I'll feel even better if in about 931 days, there is a new president and a peaceful transition of power. If not, the experiment is over.

Trump seems to have decided the list of grievances in the Declaration of Independence was a to-do list, instead of things to avoid doing.

God bless America. I believe we are blessed to live in a nation founded by the people and for the people. Despite the rough seas and false prophets of our times I believe in America’s ideals and that we will overcome.
