"How quiet the woods would be if only the best birds sang."

july 7

"You have to love a nation that celebrates its independence every July 4, not with a parade of guns, tanks, and soldiers who file by the White House in a show of strength and muscle, but with family picnics where kids throw frisbees, the potato salad gets iffy, and the flies die from happiness. You may think you have overeaten, but it is patriotism."
Erma Bombeck

i should have a photo of me with my friends and family on the 4th of july in b-town...but i don't.
