Here's wishing everyone a fine July 4^th! It falls on a monday too, could it get any better?

For those of you who might have lost your full appreciation of what the 4th is about, here's what the Iraqi's have to celebrate on July 4^th - dust, litter, and debris. A short video of a drive through downtown An Numaniyah from the windshield of a Humvee.

Enjoy your day off! Maybe I'll get a steak or burger or something tonight. I think they've got a barbecue planned for dinner. I don't think there'll be any fireworks though. Makes people jumpy.
