3 Bean Salad

04Jul09

It’s Saturday July 4th – Happy Independence Day, America. I really do love your Targets, accents, AM/PM, the scent and simplicity of your green money, your scary border patrol who asked me to pull into Bay 3 and proceeded to rip apart the contents of my car that one time, your cheap gas, Vegas, Tahoe, the way you say roof like “rueff”, dirt cheap clothing, outlet malls and how you sell beer and wine in the grocery stores! Simply amazing.

I’ll even look past that one time I celebrated the 4th with you on your soil and while I was watching the massive fireworks display, one of the casings (which was on fire) came straight for me as I sat on the beach. Emotionally, it may have scarred me for life, but it’s all good

You’re a great country.

Be merry and safe, my American friends!

Three favorite songs:

I’ll just go from the above selections.

1. All Dressed Up – Citizen Cope. The song itself is average, but it’s the lyrics that do me in. Rawr!

Here’s a song for you I play
For all of my life, for all of my days
Life is short but the summer is long
And we could get together a lot before the fall
And when you get near, close enough to hear, thoughts just settle
The thoughts just clear
And I could touch you right
And I could rush you right and
Them walls gonna fall like the full moon-light

Whoa. Hi.
