Apparently the movie Independence Day: Resurgence really sucks.
That’s too bad as I was looking forward to it.
A Day Early
I put this up a day early because I’m taking the full day off tomorrow.
I’ll be starting off by attending a special Independence Day reenactment of Patrick Henry’s immortal “Give me Liberty or Give me Death!” speech.
I’ll follow this up with the same things many of you are doing: Beer and Fireworks.
I hope you all have a happy and safe 4th!
