This entry was published at least two years ago (originally posted on July 4, 2018). Since that time the information may have become outdated or my beliefs may have changed (in general, assume a more open and liberal current viewpoint). A fuller disclaimer is available.

Whether you recognize today as a celebration of where the country is now (…really, though?), optimism for where it could be (my choice), simply a day off, or if you don’t have the privilege of taking a day off and are working, I hope today is enjoyable and safe for you. 🎆🇺🇸🎇
