Happy 4th!

I could talk 'til the cows come home about America, and still never be as eloquent or accurate as the folks quoted below. So, I'm checking in briefly, prior to a day at the course with Genius Golfer this afternoon, and leaving you Dear Readers in good hands. Happy 4th of July! Enjoy the day with family and friends, safely.
