Certainly nice here. I get a free fireworks show tomorrow as well.My enigma is there a better weekend than the 4th of July?
It was great. I feel like 4th of July should get a little more hype/build up.
I definitely agreeIt was great. I feel like 4th of July should get a little more hype/build up.
Sadly its become popular to hate the US. People don't realize how lucky they are to live in such a great place.
It was much more celebrated in my youth.![]()
As a general rule, if you've lived your whole life in one place, then the tendency is to compare that place with some ideal perfect society that never existed. If you have lived in various places, then you evaluate the good and bad aspects of each. The people I know who love America the most are a married couple who grew up separately in the USSR and met here in NYC.Sadly its become popular to hate the US.

This is very true. I knew a German Enginner who grew up in communist East Germany who would tell people off on the bus that bad mouthed the US.As a general rule, if you've lived your whole life in one place, then the tendency is to compare that place with some ideal perfect society that never existed.

Yea exercising in humidity is awful. I had to do it a few times. You feel like you are going to melt. Lol.Lucky you...I'd rather have the heat than the humidity. I run 3 miles at 5:45AM before work and I'm soaked in sweat already lol.
Still rather than the winter when it's freezing cold.Yea exercising in humidity is awful. I had to do it a few times. You feel like you are going to melt. Lol.
Whenever I get in the mood to exercise I lie down till it goes away. 😛Still rather than the winter when it's freezing cold.
