I thought the exquisite irony was the July 4th 1775 entry in King George's diary which said: "Nothing of importance happened today..."
Of course, the mail servers were really, really, really slow in those days (as in two months to deliver the mail to England...). And what did the good King find out then? Why that those uppity American colonies had declared independence on July SECOND, not the fourth. July 4th was when the declaration was published. See, getting published was EVERYTHING!... even back then <G> Let the celebration commence!

King George had a note in his inbox that we colonials were charting a new course. I will be on hand to run both the early and the late nets but then rush off to nearby Hillsboro to watch the fireworks and breath their sulphurous fumes. I get a kick out of watching Pat watch fireworks. She enjoys them intensely :) ... 73, Kevin.
