Want to wish everyone a very happy and safe fourth of July.

Also want to send out a huge thanks to all my Military brothers and sisters, whether old or new, still serving or outprocessed, living or gone, for their desire to sacrifice their lives to help keep this country free.

Now remember, when throwing firecrackers, DON'T cock your arm back. Fling it forward. And don't forget to let go of said firecracker.

Good times to you all.

Now he tells me...[as I now have to type this with my buttocks].

Happy Fourth to all my fellow Monster Kids.

Today promises to be one of the best July 4ths in quite a while.

This morning, around 7:30am, the wife and I decided to stain several backyard fence boards replaced a few weeks ago due to small tornado damage. Our backyard faces west and the early start meant less direct sun on a day that is projecting 95-98 degree temps.

We wrapped up the job around 9:30am and decided to stay outside in the shade, with a nice breeze, and read while the dogs fooled around and wore themselves out. Really pleasant with the breeze.

Then we were treated to two hawks fighting (screeching) over a rat one had caught. We live in a subdivision that has few nesting areas left, so this was quite a treat. The hawk that prevailed took his rat to the top of the chimney at a house three doors south and proceeded to proclaim its victory before chowing down. The other hawk flew to another chimney and watched for a while. Both hawks were pestered by aggressive mockingbirds swooping down on them, but neither left their position.

It's not difficult to reflect on our luck that we have the ability to enjoy both the work and the nature study. Now I think I'll find a new Monster Kid film to watch -- maybe two -- to help keep this great day going in the right direction.

I hope everyone on the board -- American or otherwise -- manages to find a small (or large) bit of unintended enjoyment today. Doesn't necessarily have to be a holiday.

Good to see Count Gamula's banner back up top the CHFB. Lugosi, by the way, says he turned down the chance to play the fifer.

Didn't Don Knotts try out for that role?
Happy 4th, ya'll. Looking forward to a couple of Sapporos and Phase IV myself.

I heard Carradine was offered all three roles at one time.

True, Steve!

But then, he recommended all the others for the gigs...

Best,

P.S. - Watched "1776" on TCM last night; I think it's one of the '70's most underated films, and I went to bed very thankful for the efforts of those men, that hot summer...

Yes, I'm also thankful for the efforts of William Daniels, Ken Howard and Howard da Silva!

Well yeah, them too... (What, no love for John Cullum & Bill Duell?)

Musta been sweet for DaSilva to play ol' Ben, after being blacklisted... Of course, then he got to balance it out by going back to Nikita Kruschchev!

July 4th 2008

Individual happiness & pride can be found all through this great country. Perhaps in the near future, this land can be elevated back to the ideals the founding fathers created.

SK, whenever we today shoot for their (seems-contradictory-but-isn't) level of Individual sacrifice for the Common good, we're right there with them.

Best,
