It should be a great day here Red !
Thanks for the well wishes.
The sad thing is we have all these yahoos with yellow ribbons on their cars who keep talking about how free they are but don't even know who their council members or senators.
Freedom can only be preserved by motivated individuals not by governments.
That said, enjoy the sparkly lights people!
Hmm not too many about! Must all be out enjoying the day!
Thanks .. it was a really nice day!
