No more white, I’m still wearing open toes shoes, I’m in SC. There’s that holiday everyone confuses with the other.  It’s always either Labor or Memorial and either way, we’re celebrating something – The Fourth of July.

It’s about freedom.  Freedom isn’t free.  To quote -

What would you do
If you were asked to give up your dreams for freedom?
What would you do
If asked to make the ultimate sacrifice?

Would you think about all them people
Who gave up everything they had?
Would you think about all them War Vets
And would you start to feel bad?

Freedom isn’t free
It costs folks like you and me
And if we don’t all chip in
We’ll never pay that bill
Freedom isn’t free
No, there’s a hefty in’ fee.
And if you don’t throw in your buck ‘o five
Who will?

What would you do
If someone told you to fight for freedom?
Would you answer the call
Or run away like a little ?
‘Cause the only reason that you’re here
Is ’cause folks died for you in the past
So maybe now it’s your turn
To die kicking some ass

Freedom isn’t free
It costs folks like you and me
And if we don’t all chip in
We’ll never pay that bill
Freedom isn’t free
Now there’s a hefty in’ fee
And if you don’t throw in your buck ‘o five
Who will?

You don’t throw in your buck ‘o five. Who will?
Oooh buck ‘o five
Freedom costs a buck ‘o five

America, Fuck yeah! I think that song is more appropriate for Memorial Day but everyone keeps saying “It’s one or the other” and I thought, “You know what?  They’re right.  It’s about the Fourth of July”.

So what is today about?  It about appreciating your family, your home, your job (or my fingers are crossed that you get one), the service the men and women do for our country, the extended holiday weekend and the closing of all the pools.

That part pisses me off.

So pissed off.

I have nothing else to say.

I really haven’t said anything.

Ramesh Deshmukh wants to hit that.
