Independence Day

Happy Birthday USA.

Remember why they stood tall and fought Great Britain so hard 233 years ago... it was for Freedom.

Norman Rockwell showed us the "Four Freedoms" in 1943 that were inspired by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt:

Freedom of Speech


Freedom of Worship


Freedom From Want


Freedom From Fear

God Bless America:
Now and in the Future.

Happy Fourth of July

American Independence Day. How different might it have been if the American Revolution would take place today instead of 233 years ago. Perhaps with the technologies of today England would have beaten down the revolution. With today's tanks, missiles, airplanes available, England would have access to all of these and the colonists would not. The small arms available today would not be a match for the firepower of an Imperialist country like England.


But it all happened long ago, none of the modern tech stuff was available and the British were more concerned with their war with France than our little colonial revolt... thus... we won our independence.


Happy Birthday U.S.A.

Murphy's Law

A funny thing happened after washing the car... it rained! Doesn't that figure? Rain at the tail end of June is a rarity in Southern California. Sure it only spit a little on the windshield... but at least it was rain.
