30 Repeat from this morning:

I would like to acknowledge that the land we now occupy once belonged to His Majesty the King of England, but he and the parliament that runs his government started acting like a bunch of douchecanoes, so we kicked their asses out and started running things ourselves.

It all worked out for the best, for us, and humanity as a whole.

If you want it back, too freakin' bad, it's ours now.

31 And the early birds are blasting fireworks.
Then tomorrow of course.
Then Sunday.

When they run out of fireworks they will start shooting their guns.

Well, it's their money.. Hopefully they don't shoot someone,
or start a fire or pass out drunk.

Blessed with vict'ry and peace, may the heav'n rescued land,
⁠Praise the power that hath made and preserved us a nation!
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave,
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

Have always been proud to be an American. I have to say the international fans of the World Cup were an extra special surprise gift for our 250th birthday! We take so much for granted here. Waffle House?

I would imagine many felt homesick for our freedoms, food, free refils, smiles, and AC when they got back to the UK and Europe.

I'd like to see our government try to confiscate A/C.

Happy 250th Birthday, Moron's and 'ettes. Many wish they were us.

God bless you all and may God bless and protect the USA for another 250yrs.

Prayers for protection tomorrow for our country, our President, and our military.

My buddy and I were towing his boat to Florida when one of the tires on the boat trailer came apart. We were in the middle of Georgia and had no idea where we could find someone who could deal with it.

Searched for auto repair shops in the area and somehow came up with a heavy equipment repair shop. They told us to come on over. So we come on over.

Like 5 guys come out to see what's up, they take the trailer off the truck, pick the boat and trailer up with a ginormous forklift, and change the tire like an Indy pit crew. Charged us $30. And gave us coffee cups with their logo.

Yea, pretty cool country.

Up again tomorrow for the big day.

Car belongs to a friend of many years' standing. Only has about 45000 miles on it. He wanted to get the engine resealed to cure oil leaks. Took it to a guy we both know and trust. It ran a few miles, lost oil pressure, and hammered out the bearings. He took it to another shop; guy said the first put a wrong oil filter on it (not convinced of that), rebuilt engine to the tune of $6000. Ran for a few months, lost oil pressure, and began to knock. Now it is here. One thing I will be looking for is a missing fiber disc check valve in the oil filter adapter. One of those falling out could cause a total loss of oil pressure.

Oh no! 75 low in the summer?! What will we ever do!!!🤣
In 1901 it was on average 90+ throughout the country this time of year. What! I guess the politicians back then didn't figure out how to grift on it. Poor bastards...😐.

When one person has made a living off breaking up with people, I just wonder if this will trigger a 3CD set of new material if she divorces.

I do hope it works out.

Great, GSP has changed their website again, and now it's different to find the records.

Anyway, our all-time highest low record is 80F, set on one day in June, and two days in July, and all three were set in the 1930s.

The 1930s here were pretty hot, and still look to be probably the hottest overall so far.

Last summer we set a record for the longest streak of 90F+ days. I didn't make here locally, because on one of the cooler days, my high was just below 90F.

But then, a cold air damming thing kicked in on Aug 2, and we set several lowest high records for those days. So we went from setting "hot" records to setting "cool" records turning on dime.
