It seems of late it's been "fashionable" internally to dis the USA on
many occasions. I just view this as an indication that the democracy is
working. We agree to tolerate one another ... and live with our
neighbors opinions ... but we are absolutely free to gripe about it!
And, that we have so much time to do so is an indication that times are
good. Happy 4th!

I celebrated 4th of July in Ireland.  There were American flags all across
the country (except N Ireland)

That's interesting. I have never seen a country celebrate another's national
holiday.

In a nod to Ireland, here in the US we definitely celebrate Saint Patrick's
Day. I don't think it's recognized as a holiday by any level of goverment but
at one company where I worked (owner of Irish descent) while it was not
recognized as a day off actual productivity was not expected and even
discouraged!

I'm celebrating Uruguay's Constitution Day tomorrow by recognizing the
separation of powers..a cordless charger for my phone and one for
my watch
