Two hundred thirty-six years ago, a bunch of people gathered in Philadelphia to hear a guy read out a document a bunch of other guys had put their signatures to two days before. I can tell you from experience, everybody concerned was sweating more or less to death.
It has been an unusually awesome Fourth of July so far!
# The European Parliament voted against ACTA!
# A Higgs particle has been discovered by CERN!
# My friend had her baby!
# And today is Steve Rogers' and Malia Obama's birthdays.
All in all, as
epershand said, it was definitely a day that justified drinking at one p.m. And later I am going to fireworks.
If you're celebrating, I hope you have a lovely day.
