Celebrate your country's independence by blowing up a small part of it. -- Apu

The Brits, of course, don't have an Independence Day to celebrate, so instead they celebrate a fireworks show that didn't happen. The Americans were clever enough to declare independence at a time of year perfect for lying on the glass and watching colors in the sky. The British chose November for big public celebrations, so they prefer bonfires to airborne gunpowder.

This year I will opt to celebrate the festival of fall heat by soaking at Valley View. Make sure to vote on or before Tuesday!

I think it's nice that the Brits blow up stuff for Guy Fawkes every year because he didn't get a chance to.

Also, Independence Day in the U.S. is in July, which is hot and miserable here in Kansas. With big nasty bugs that will kill you while you sleep.

ohhhh
