Being a proud American, I'm displaying the "Stars and Stripes" proudly this weekend!!! Along with my NRA flag below. In these "rough" times when we've got a President that when traveling around the world apologizes for America and for what America stands for, we need to stand up and be even stronger and more steadfast in the face of this Liberal/Socialist/Communist/Marxist onslaught that was brought on by the last election. Hopefully; soon, this nightmare will, in time, soon pass. Happy Fourth Everyone!!!!! :thumbsup

Of course, I will have 10 selected striped flags from my collection flying proudly.

At dusk, the flags will come down to a cannon salute.

We'll be able to view fireworks, from our location.

Typical of you Flagman... LOL :thumbsup Well out here in Idaho I'm hoping that there isn't much for fireworks. Grass is getting tall and dry... 8|

We've had so much rain in the NorthEast, there was flooding. Average rain for July 3"... we got 4.5 in one day & 2 more the next. Minimal fire danger... though the fireworks we were front row, had one go sideways & hit a tree. I'd rather use cannon, I know where it's aimed! Russ

Don't talk to me about rain, Russ. Three weeks ago this Friday, there was a "major dumpage" in my area. I had water up to my house on 3 sides. On the crown of the street in front of my drive, there was 4 inches of water at the high point. 8| Good thing I'm on a crawl space, because a full basement would've been real, real wet!!!! The sump pump in my crawl ran non-stop for about 6 hours.........and for 4 or those hours, I dropped a little "kicker" pump along side of the sump pump!!!!!!! There was a lot of water here!! I only wish the pictures I took turned out. There was so much reflection off of the water in my yard that you cannot tell what the hell you're looking at on the pix I took!!!!! Sorry y'all!!!!!! ` `
