No matter what your plans are for this holiday, stay safe. There are too many accidents on a day like today, from simple burns from the grill to serious mishaps with fireworks.
Don't drink so much that you lose control of your mental faculties and/or your reflexes. Be extremely careful, especially if there are children around!
Celebrate Independence Day all you want, just make sure you are still around and in one piece on the Fifth of July :)

Underwear-clad man ignites fireworks
MOUNT ISA, Australia (UPI) -- Authorities in Mount Isa, Australia, said a man was arrested after he allegedly ran down the street in his underwear with firecrackers strapped to his head.
Mount Isa Superintendent Les Hopkins said the 22-year-old man allegedly ran up and down Camooweal Street in the city center wearing only his underwear and a bicycle helmet with detonating firecrackers bound to it, The (Brisbane, Australia) Courier-Mail reported Monday.
"He was running close to one of our main roads, where the big road trains travel," Hopkins said. "It could have been quite tragic."
The man was charged with possession of fireworks and being a public nuisance. He was released after posting bail.

Ordered Randomness
I have no idea what that title means, it just popped into my feeble mind and I liked it so I used it :)
The weather is back to serious rain. Not too serious for my neighbors though. Last night while it was coming down in buckets, the idiots went outside and set off a bunch of whistling rockets! My poor dog not only had to be scared of all the noise from the rain and the wind but then them stupid fireworks! GRR!
Managed to get up this morning in time to watch some of the PBA bowling show. That was a tough oil pattern in the end game because neither pro bowled all that well. Nice to see Norm Duke win though. He was so happy he shed tears!
Lazy day around here. Just puttering around on the computer, reading my mail and some blogs :) The lovely wife is cantankerous because she didn’t get to sleep until 3 a.m. or so and now is very sleepy! Poor baby :(
Have a great day, folks :) Remember, it’s back to work for most of you tomorrow!
