From the Mind of Trevor Stone

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!
