And a Happy 4th to all!

Happy 4th from gorgeous New England, where it all started!

The land that initiated giving those pesky British the what for and showed them just how the cow ate the corn. 

@yogiboy ​​​​​, you're a fellow Nutmegger, no? 

@mark200mph ,

It's actually "...calms the savage breast."

I'm an anal stickler for stuff like that.

@immatthewj ,

Indeed, full quote from the 17th century: 

"Musick hath Charms to sooth a savage Breast,
To soften Rocks, or bend a knotted Oak."

Unless it's Bruce Springsteen. 😉

I hope the weather was as beautiful for you all as it has been in Connecticut this July 4th weekend.

How about as fellow Americans we unite in prayer and good vibes for the victims of the tragic Texas floods.  What a heartbreaking disaster for so many.
