I honor you with a cuppa Earl Grey this morning. Later in the day I'll sit and watch Yankee Doodle Dandy.

I imagine there are times the Brits are glad to be rid of us. We were a pretty danged good team in WWII, weren't we?

I've what's become a tradition now for several years, i.e. listening to the great "Stan Freberg Presents The United States of America"!

I generally watch the film "Independence Day" for my 4th of July celebration. It's not Bradbury, but it's not bad. . .

Brian Williams of NBC News was sooo adorable reporting the finding of a rare copy of one of the first printings of the Declaration of Independence in an archive in England: "FYI, we voted for Independence, been nice knowing you, we'll always have Lexington and Concord."
FYI, I've been to Concord and Bunker Hill, anyone else?This message has been edited. Last edited by: dandelion,

Please see the next item in this topic for a picture where my friend and I are meeting Ray Bradbury at a 4th of July event (2009). I am the one in the red shirt and my friend Steve is on the other side of Mr. Bradbury. I am starting to realize just how special it was to have met him on this particular day. Having met him briefly tonight, I looked back on his work and have decided that my favorite of his writings is "Something Wicked This Way Comes", which I first read at the exact right age for it to have the maximum impact... 13! It had such an impact that I wrote a song about it at that age!

July 4 is the time to remember Bradbury's magical fire balloons.
