We are having a rather somber Independence Day. Some encourage us to not give up. Keep up the fight. Some are sinking into numbed acceptance of what seems inevitable. In my case, I have no fight left. Sure, I’ll vote. And. On November 6th I’ll sign up for almost any 3rd party. No matter who wins. Because we have already lost. All of us. The French may come and repo Lady Liberty.
I am glad that Carlton missed the end of the republic. He would most likely have injured his tennis arm rattling that sword he was polishing on July 4, 2014. His last Independence Day. Damn, I love that man. Still.
Normally, when I travel, I put my drugs into little tiny plastic drug baggies. But, not when traveling to Japan. They are very fussy about drugs. You can only bring a 30 day supply into the country and they must be in their original containers. Those are my new NSAID for the hip, 3 BP drugs, and Tylenol. This is making a serious dent in my packing space.
Don’t think the weather will be very nice for fireworks tonight. But, you never know.
