Happy 4th of July, folks. If you're interested in any of the less frivolous activities connected to it, here's a link to the virtual celebration being staged by the National Archives. It's pretty entertaining.

Hear Thomas Jefferson say: 'You have at your fingertips access to the world's knowledge. It has come to my attention that most of you use these devices to argue with strangers and look at pictures of CATS.'

The writing is impressive.

And yes, last night, they played the Space Force anthem in the medley. I haven't found the lyrics yet...

The 'Declaration of Independence' printer:

'I said I could do fifteen minutes of printer jokes, but they said 'no'.'

Enjoy your day

We are, thanks. It's quiet around here. We've just watched 'Winchester'.

I've just watched the Worst Witch with my grandson, lovely seeing them again after so long. Enjoy your evening my colonial cousin.

I'm happy America kicked the brits out, I'm happy that many countries also in time kicked the brits out (colonial dayswhen "we" think we ruled the world)

but! I'm unhappy, that after all these years "some" here STILL can't come to terms with what the "british empire" did and feel any remorse.
