    One of the things I love about America is that no matter to what point we parody ourselves, there is someone somewhere out there who wholeheartedly, 100% believes in that vision

    we actually had a pretty solid week leading up to this year's independence day so it feels maybe a little less ironic!

    I spend a few hours today cleaning my musket for this weekends big Independence Day reenactment. We do it at Fort Atkinson state park and recreate the celebration from 1820. Luckily there was a newspaper reporter present who had come up from St Louis who meticulously records the event and the 50 something toasts. It was the first organized Fourth of July celebration west of the Missouri River. (Lewis and Clark celebrated earlier but is was very simple)

    Besides the drinks, there is also a salute to the 23 states in the union. Volleys are fired from the infantry regiment, rifle regiment, and artilery company. We alternate firing. Cannon, infantry, rifles, infantry, rifles, cannon. This gives the artilery enough time to safely reload the two 6 pounder field cannons. It also only gives us flintlock people about fifteen seconds to reload. So it ends up being a pretty brisk time for all.

    There is always a really huge crowd of visitors watching.

    Also someone reads the entire Declaration of Independence as was done at the time. Let me tell you, that thing is seemly endless when standing in very hot sun wearing several layers of wool and a big black leather hat on.

    Watching certain videos posted, I ask myself seriously, why isn't "America, Fuck Yeah!" the USA National Sports fight song/chant for any and every World Sports competition? It is literally perfect for that.

    "Grip 'em up, grip 'em, grip 'em good, said the Gryphon... to the pig."

    Looks like my roommate's girlfriend backed up into my parked car.

    All while, as a responsible & patriotic citizen, I was drinking Jack Daniels and watching the Patriot.

    What daft irony is this!?!?

    Working 4:30pm to midnight on the 4th. Gonna miss the the fireworks, but that's ok. They usually play havoc with my ptsd anyway. Today was my celebration, watching the Sounders beat D.C. with Cascadia colors flying.
