Happy 4th!

...from New Orleans.

I'm really missing my traditional attendance of Fair St. Louis right now. When mushrooming fireworks sprawl across the summer sky, framed by the Arch, I cannot deny that monument's majesty, how much it truly has come to symbolize "home" for me.

Of course, St. Louis's independence day is August 22 (1876)--the day the City-County split was voted upon, which would, after some controversy, loose the noble city from the greedy county's grip.

I kid, of course.

Happy Independence Day!
