We’re holding out for the semiquincentennial here in Philly. Which will obviously be a big deal hereabouts.

gotta be honest here, y’all…
not feeling the love for USian “independence day”, this year. 
big booms in a night sky may be impressive to look at, but this year, after all we are seeing destroyed of our supposedly glorious democracy, i cannot find a celebratory nerve in my body.
that there will be parades with flags and martial bands and explosive extravaganza seem somehow hollow to me. a sham.
the people want spectacle.
i want it all to be true.
sorry to be a downer, but i will be opting out of any celebration this year.
~Eeyore out.
