I don't have any pics to post, but earlier today I drove over to my ex-wife house to put a swing for my son. I think they were going to a parade and watch fireworks tonight. Other then that, I've been just relaxing. Here in about an hour I'm going to my neighbors house because they are fixing a big dinner, then I'll probably watch some TV until the city does the firework show. Luckily I can see most it from my house. Nice peaceful day. Happy B-day America!

I celebrated Independence Day by taking my Zong for a 150-mile ride; then I visited with my good friend, Andy. Here are a few photographs from my ride.

We headed to a nice campground in the Mount Vernon, WA area. The campground is across the river from a reservation, and the locals started the fireworks every day at around 2:30 PM, and let 'er rip until after midnight. Not much sense in shooting off fireworks in the sunshine, but it's all in good fun.
On July 4, they started at 10:30 AM. Happy Independence Day!
