Today

It’s the date on which the Continental Congress approved a resolution declaring independence (1776) — the Declaration of Independence stating the reasons was approved two days later.

It’s the date on which the second day of battle was fought at Gettysburg (1863).

It’s the date on which Thurgood Marshall was born (1908).

It’s the date on which the Air Force says a weather balloon crashed near Roswell, New Mexico (1947).

It’s the date on which Ernest Hemingway committed suicide at his home in Ketchum, Idaho (1961).

It’s the date on which NewMexiKen’s computer continues to act up (2004). I fear hardware problems.

And it’s the date on which NewMexiKen is going off to visit one of the Sweeties (2004).

Blogging will be light (or absent altogether) until Monday or Tuesday.

Have a safe and happy Independence Day.
