4th of July
Just going to say it, Happy 4th of July.
And while I realize there is vast change circling all it entails, we're still here doing what we love because of all that came before, good, bad and ugly. ;) |

Wore the colors proudly today.

Thank you and same to you sir! Even though we should do it differently this year, I think we still celebrate. And since this is a circle of bike nerds, I give you this. There was no way I could not ride this today, even just a few miles, and get a pic with TJ. He should be honored today of all days (he also died on this day in 1826] with acknowledgement of the complexities that made him who he was, just like they form the fabric of this diverse and strange nation.

You guys and gals do know it was not as neat and tidy as it was taught in grade school.

Founded on slavery, genocide and elite privelege... over 200 years and "we" still haven't evolved.
|
Higher ground edit... happy 4th and nice bike!
|
Great looking bike in front of the monument of a great American.
Happy Independence Day |
TJ and John Adams died within two hours of each other on this day.

On my ride today, saw people getting together in small groups and celebrating in spite of the times.
Had to ride through several clouds of very tasty-smelling BBQ smoke. |
Well, I enjoyed the 4th same as I do every year. All the craziness going on can kiss my butt.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.his...f-independence In 1989, a Philadelphia man found an original Dunlap Broadside hidden in the back of a picture frame he bought at a flea market for $4. One of the few surviving copies from the official first printing of the Declaration, it was in excellent condition and sold for $8.1 million in 2000. |
Let's stop with the political chit chat in C&V. Thank you.
|
Wow that was a lot of celebration going on last night. I heard more fireworks than ever in the big city, thank you USA.
|
Rode endlessly yesterday day then finished at a pool party cookout. Good day with troubles far from my mind.
Happy 4th I hoped for you all! |

Didn't have time to ride so this is the best I can do. The French would be appalled.
