Yay, America!!!

So the good ol' USA is 229. All in all it was a pretty good day. There was thunder and lightening in the early afternoon. Then, it went away. There were no hot dogs or apple pie, but I ate a BBQ burger. Drank Sam Adams beer, since he helped found the country. Some people swam. At the end of the day, we avoided the crowd at the Arch by watching the fireworks in the suburbs. We made up for the smaller show by sitting 50 yards away from fireworks. We were so close that I could feel the explosions in my chest and it hurt my eyes to watch it for awhile. Good times.
Plus, my two favorite baseball teams won three times in one day.
