In my last couple of hours at work I'm here to remind you of the holiday coming up this weekend.  Lovely Fourth of July.  Make sure your burgers are cooked enough, no pink chicken, and for goodness sake keep the baked beans to a minimum.  As we launch potentially deadly gunpowder filled projectiles into the atmosphere let's keep safety in mind.  If you have 10 fingers before you light the fireworks... let's strive to return with 10 fingers.

On a serious note.. let us not forget the point of this holiday to begin with.  The people that laid their life on the line so that people like you and I could live the way that we do.  So that morons with a keyboard could get online and write their opinions on a blog site without fear of being exiled or imprisoned.  I'm talking about freedom.  I'm talking about the soldiers that have and will put their life on the line to defend it.  Tell a soldier "Thank You," shake the hand a a Veteran and put yourself where they have been where there's no such thing as a re-spawn.  Enjoy the freedom and the rights you've been given.  If you want to support the money machine go out to eat and spend your money, you earned it.  If you want to protest the use of the word "the" in the English language, go make a sign and sit on the steps of Congress yelling at the top of your lungs.  Just remember that thousands died for you to be able to sit there.

Please be safe this weekend, eat a lot, and love the company of your family and friends.
