Independance Day

Happy Independence Day everyone. Like many Americans, we will relax and enjoy with our families today, bar-b-que outdoors, and play a little acoustic guitar with some friends.

America is facing some tough times right now in regards to the economy and we certainly haven't seen the worst of it yet. We have our problems here, and by no means has America been perfect from 1776 until 2008. In fact, there has been some pretty weird decisions made on the part of Americans and their political leaders over the years.

But as tough as times can get, and as strange as some things can be, America evolves and seems to eventually overcome and realize it's mistakes. We grow stronger through adversity and conflict and no matter how you look at life in America, we are lucky to live here. If we lost everything we have earned tomorrow it wouldn't be a disaster because we live in a place where you can start over with nothing and rise to the top again and again. We are free to think, live, and be most anything we want.

Today, we honor the ideals of the American dream, we honor the soldiers that work hard and risk their lives for all of us, and we spend time with our loved ones to celebrate life in America. A place that we are proud and lucky to call home.
