A happy 4th to all.
Life is simple sometimes. I saw this pair while out to dinner last evening with the family. He has to work on his matching color hat though. So another baking day here in the grand state of Maryland. I hope you are all ready for the boom boom this evening, along with the crowds OOHH’S & AAHH’S.
Just a reminder to be careful and courteous again both with fireworks and on the road if you venture out. I plan on sitting on a balcony and watching from afar. It’s almost time to fire up the grills for dinner and wait for the sunset. Wishing everyone a happy and safe 4th.

I can’t decide which are my favorite, sunrises or sunsets. Both are equally satisfying.

Random Thoughts of the Day
I had no random thoughts yesterday, I was probably too relaxed.
I don’t need to watch any more news to know what to do in November.
I’m going to try to be more courteous to people to make up for those who lack it.
Is it strange to be tired at 4pm?
When you escape the rat race the desire to return to it really questions your strength.
