Busy week end, taking the grandkids to see the Panda movie this afternoon and tonight Shannon has tickets for the Rays base ball game.
Tomorrow is a double birthday party for both Kay, who was 3 last week and James William who enters the Terrible Twos on July 7.
Following that, Ben and I are off to the Club in Sarasota for a belated 4th of July dinner and as always, followed by adult beverages and wise council.
Happy 4th of July to all.

This is Barnum & Bailey's "Our Country" float at Racine, Wisconsin, August 6, 1904. It served for just a couple years, 1903-1904, as a patriotic salute to the nation and was then sold to the Miller Bros. & Arlington 101 Ranch Wild West, where it carried American bison for a few more seasons. It went missing by the early 1910s. The vehicle builder was the Sebastian Wagon Company, with ornaments from the carvers hired by Samuel Robb.

John Polacsek makes a fine-looking T. R. and should ride it in 2009.
