So, you're all going to be celebrating what happened on July 4, 1776, tomorrow, well, enjoy yourselves, don't drink too much, or, over indulge on those fancy schmancy cakes and pastries, or, burn yourselves on all those barbeques, or, set fire to your house with lots of fireworks....... !*roll-laugh*! !*salute*!

Cheerz. ex-railwayman. !*cheers*!

I may have to find a British flagged ship in a port near by and throw some Earl Grey overboard. *!greengrin!*

Ahh, the Boston Tea Party was on December 16,1773. You missed that date or are early for it. July 4 was when we declared independence from a far off out of touch governing group much like the British just did from the EU.

And Earl Grey sucks. Tastes like perfume. I'd throw it overboard too.

Happy independence weekend (or day, depending on when you read this) from the first state to have it's own state constitution, first to establish its own government independent of Great Britain, one of the original 13 states to form the US, and the 9th state that ratified the constitution.

Dear lord, we did a lot.

The Boston tea party had nothing to do with taxes after all. It was just angry customers.
