them. Adversaries remain citizens of the same state, common subjects of
the same sovereign, servants of the same law."

I'll never know how fairly quiet introverted me ended up so popular. Every year fireworks and parades and concerts on my birthday for as long as I can remember.

Seriously, happy Independence Day to all fellow Americans and a happy day to all of you who aren't.

A British consulate -- in Texas, I think it was -- once in the 1960s or '70s posted a notice that it was closed on the Fourth "due to circumstances beyond our control."  
Incidentally, that looks remarkably like the insignia of Hydra the lady's wearing on her shoulder ... the true allegiance of the Battenbergs revealed?

4th of July was drizzling. Which didn't stop my entire street from staging a mini war from 7pm to 2 in them morning. I told my boss I'm not coming in after that.
