Happy 4th. Way back in Tatum we used to celebrate at my grandparents house which was at the edge of town. There were two roads to their house, one of which was sometimes blocked by a barbed wire gate. That was to keep people from sneaking in the rodeo without paying. Anyway we always had fried chicken, corn on the cob, deviled eggs, water mellon and hand-churned ice cream. I don”t remember many fireworks. This brings me to the Goldilocks planet. It seems that the first planet thought to be sort of earth-like was not a planet but a sun spot. Glad I did’t buy a ticket to travel there. And even if it was a planet and there were intelligent creatures they would probably not celebrate the 4th or have pecan pie.

Is there much good news on the international front? Well, the leader of China is visiting South instead of North Korea. And North Korea is going to have their internal airline start flying for the first time in several years. Have not seen any shirtless pictures of Putin on the net. Can you imagine George Washington shirtless on the boat crossing the river? Anyway I really enjoy watching that historical movie about the 4th, Independence Day. Was that really based on actual events the government is trying to keep secret from us? Have a wonderful 4th and keep on the safe side of the fireworks.
