Hey it’s that time of year again where you guys over in the states celebrate wrecking loads of boxes of perfectly good tea or something. As apparently said by Thomas “the man” Jefferson (to his wife on the 3rd by all accounts):
The second day of July, 1776, will be the most memorable epoch in the history of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated as the day of deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires, huge BBQs, humongous hot dogs, and fireworks the size of ICBMs, from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward forever more.
Alright it wasn’t quite what he said, but it’s close. Enjoy the festivities!
