BTW , my American flag flies everyday :patriot:

Working until 8:30, going home and sitting around listening to the scanner, I don't like to eat that late because of my GERD.

I took down my flag on November fifth and now only put it up on special days. My neighbors have noticed and commented, and I, unashamedly, told them why.

* Annual village book sale (donations) at 0800
* Watch village July 4th Parade at 1000
* Cookout/potluck at 1700 in our RV park
* Watch fireworks at 2100 (+/-) while wearing jackets/sweaters and long britches
* Give thanks for being born an American of southern extraction and for meeting Mrs. Oldgringo a quarter century ago
* Remember Patrick, my youngest son, who would have been 40 today IF he hadn't stepped in front of a car when he was 12

Happy July 4th everyone :patriot:

Working at the Lackland Law Enforcement Desk when anyone in San Antonio can come on base to enjoy the festivities to include a fireworks display and concert. Again for all interested it is open to the public..... all you need is a valid ID and valid proof of vehicle insurance to drive on base. Oh and by valid ID I do not mean a valid Mexican DL (unless you got papers saying you are allowed to be here).

Its becoming a tradition for me,
I will step out of my yard, half way out to the middle of the street. I will have my Beretta concealed on me and will stand at parade rest for a minute or so.
I will do this simply because I can. No one will likely notice except my wife who may think I've gone temporarily insane.

I call this yearly tribute to the ability to carry on the streets the "Cotton Stand"

The Annoyed Boy, The Annoyed Woman, and I will be attending the Dallas Tea Party at the Southfork Ranch - where we plan to be very annoyed along with many of our fellow citizens. Power to the people, right on!

I bought tickets to the Cool Zone and VIP parking, so we'll have a place to get out of the sun if it gets too brutal.
