This isn't the fourth of July. It's not a date, it's a statement. It's independence, a state of being made possible only through the ultimate sacrifice of others. It's an amazing thing, this independence. Enjoy your time today and know that while you're splashing and swimming I'll be painting and washing, which is a miserable way to spend a day such as this. Be safe and please do honor the fireworks bans that exist in most municipalities around Walworth County, on account of the drought and all.
