Happy belated Independence Day

I had planned on getting some good fireworks shots and then doing a late post last night, but I got out of the house without my memory card for my camera. And then I was thinking about writing some profound post about how that's a metaphor for how it seems that our country is forgetting how hard it was to win and keep independence and so now we're willing to just forget about it and hand over our economic system to the next Jimmy Carter and hand over our freedom of speech and religion thinking that if we're just nice enough then certain groups won't want to fly planes into our buildings, but it's just not flowing today.
