Friday, July 4, 2014 – “Freedom’s just another word for nothing left to loose…” And the singer of that song is? Extra credit if you can name the song and extra extra credit if you can name the songwriter. Today is July 4 – the birthday of our country. To celebrate the occasion, I am going to the George HW Bush (# 41) library celebration this evening. I will be wearing my Republican red shorts, from L.L. Bean and made in China and a beautiful white T-shirt with an American flag that was made in Mexico. How American is that? Wearing cloths imported from another country. I am going to watch the fireworks. But the George Bush library is open from 9 am to 8:15 this evening. Admission is free. One can take a shuttle bus to the library. It is free also. The Brazos Valley Symphony is playing. Yeah, I was surprised BCS has a symphony too. So not only is this a celebration of freedom, it is a celebration of Republicans doing something for free. However freedom is not free and praise is given to those who serve to keep that freedom. So regardless of political affiliations and beliefs, remember we live the greatest country in the world. Thank a soldier today – whether he or she is on active duty or retired. The singer was Janis Joplin; the song Me and Bobby McGee, written by Kris Kristofferson. Factoid – did you know Joplin and Kristofferson are from Texas?
