The second day of July, 1776, will be the most memorable epoch in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires, and illuminations, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever more.
I dare say, we did celebrate our 4th of July with pomp, parades, games, swimming pools, illuminations and Mexican food. For what can be more American than Mexican food? We had grilled stuffed shrimp chile rellenos, elotes, salad, watermelon and root beer floats. Mmmm...summer.

What? I'm celebrating July 4th, 2013 at your house, but only if I can also sit naked in Bridger's swimming pool too.
Careful what you wish for, I may hold you to it.
