Latter Day Sinner

Another 4th of July has come and nearly gone. I stayed up until early this morning and slept most of the day. The neighbors are lighting fireworks all around. I haven’t heard any sirens so I guess nothing has gone terribly wrong. Explosions sanctioned by the local and state governments are an interesting way to pretend we are independent, but obviously the logic is flawed. The tree of liberty is not actually being watered with the blood of patriots and tyrants tonight. Perhaps it’s better that way.
