Happy Forth Bill.

The rain is predicted here around 2 PM.

Right now it's hot and sunny. I am actually in the backyard now watching the kids.

I ended up planting 8 palm trees this morning. My wife wuldn't let me blast the holes tho. I tried to explain this might be the only day a year I could get away with it.
Guess I will have to wait until tonight for "blasting".
Gotta keep those birds away from my palm trees [Linked Image]

Happy 4th to everyone and don't eat too much BBQ.

Happy Safe (Sanity optional) 4th to all of you!

Paul et al,
Thanks for the best wishes.
Especially coming from the other side of the pond.
Your loss was definately our gain.
A special thanks to Lafeyette. I'll drink a toast to him tonight.
To reciprocate: God save the Queen.

They printed the Documents on the 4th, it was not signed by New York until the 9th....

And yes Alan, if it were not for the French funding, and especially Lafeyette, as well as a hand-over of the win from Comte de Rochambeau at Yorktown, we would still have the Queen on our money, and Soccer would be our national sport, like the rest of the world. [Linked Image]

You might also have:

* All domestic appliances running on 240V

* 625-line PAL television

* Driving on the "wrong" side of the street

* Weird road signs

* No tea in Boston Harbor...... [Linked Image]

And to make things even worse, just think who you would have as a Prime Minister! [Linked Image]

Nah, you would have become disgusted with us and kicked us out of the empire by now. [Linked Image]
