| Fireworks over the Magic Kingdom during July 2013 |
Here are some random thoughts this morning as I sit here thinking about getting outside and cleaning up after last evenings storms.
1. Independence Day is one of my favorite holidays. The summer heat and swimming and of course the fireworks make this a real bang.

| Louis Zamperini |
2. I was saddened to learn of the passing of Louis Zamperini on Wednesday. He was a true hero and and example of the power of forgiveness. I read the biography written about him by Laura Hillenbrand titled Unbroken, and found his journey to be an example for all of us. My recommendation is for everyone to read the book about his life.
3. Why do we play patriotic music only on the 4th of July? Patriotic music needs to be played on other occasions as well because it helps me remember why this country is still the greatest on the planet.
4. Do the kids attending school today learn the words to patriotic songs like My Country Tis of Thee?
5. The erosion of personal privacy is one of the great issues that needs to be addressed. The recent ruling by the Supreme Court about searched of cellphones requiring a warrant should not have been necessary. It should have been evident!
Enjoy the holiday.
Be safe!
