I wasn't sure if I would get a chance to wish everyone in the States "Happy Birthday" on July fourth, so here I am doing it now.

For those who don't know, July 4th is a very nice holiday in the US where we celebrate our birthday all over again. What I mean is, this is the day for folks who really don't have a birthday to come out and celebrate and have a really nice time with family and friends.

*Xen notices people staring at her*

What's this you say? What about those papers signed in Philadelphia in the late 18th century? Pssh-sha! We don't celebrate documents! We celebrate birthdays!

So happy birthday everyone in the USA!

Listen you guys, we have to lay low. For God's sakes the bloody red coats own this site! No sense in rubbing it in that we kicked their two-hundred and twenty-eight years ago.

Uh?

Is it possible not to have a birthday? Must be an American thing.

Happy I-Day, anyway.

Happy 4th to all my fellow Americans. Don't blow yourselves up.

I love this holiday weekend. It just always feels like the best part of the summer. So far, my weekend has been great.

[Qwerty]

Alas, all fireworks done here.

New York: Fireworks illegal, but they do not really care. There are billboards and commercials for them often. Best to bring up fireworks from North Carolina.

Always fun except when one explodes and shoots sideways in the barrel.

Happy Independence Day!!

We're a young country but we're a great country.

Have fun everybody.

[clinkeroo]

Another Fourth spent working . The one nice thing is that at dusk, I can go up on the roof of the theater and watch five or six different firework displays in the surrounding towns and cities. Cool stuff.

Celebrate, and be safe, my fellow countrymen (and women for the politically correct among us ).

[Moore Not Less]

I wish the United States of America and all the American people a very Happy Independence Day!

The Treaty of Paris was signed in 1783, which granted the United States independence from Great Britain.

[Xenobia]

Ah...yes....even though we considered ourselves independent in 1776, and mark our centennial from that date, the English were about seven years behind.

Haha. Knew all along, I suppose.

4th of July was all right for me. The activities were quite different than what I'm used to (spoiled: being right under the fireworks ever year). But ZenCat and I went over to his dad's place for a BBQ and watching the fireworks all across the horizon.

"1783 was a very good year....

...Mozart wrote his Great Mass, the Montgolfier Brothers went up in their first balloon, and England recognized the independance of the United States...."

[Xenobia]

I'll take Mozart writing his great Mass, but if anything England and America have become more symbiotic as the years have gone on.
