Boston Pops Fourth of July fireworks Finale! Phenomenal!


The celebration in Boston has traditionally been televised so the entire world can enjoy what Bostonian s get to experience. This year it is not going to be televised world wide I heard so I thought you might enjoy a few excerpts from past celebrations. 

Also, a couple treats: After nearly three years of excavation, archaeologists confirmed the discovery of the site of George Washington's boyhood home near the banks of the Rappahannock River in northeast Virginia a few years ago. Archaeologists found remains of Washington's boyhood home

Then to celebrate it A rare and original manuscript of one of America's most patriotic songs has been discovered in a flea market bargain. A shopper browsing through the market in New York bought a framed picture of a flower for $10 and found handwritten manuscript of "America" (My Country 'tis of Thee) tucked behind the picture, the manuscript's owner said Thursday.

The manuscript of the song whose lyrics were written by Samuel Francis Smith in 1831 could be worth tens of thousands of dollars, said the owner, art collector Keya Morgan. He said he bought it from the flea market shopper, who has asked not to be identified. The song was intended to be played in schools to inspire and teach children and was first played in public on July 4, 1831, in the First Baptist Church in Newton, Massachusetts, Morgan said. The song is written to the tune of "God Save the Queen," the national anthem of the United Kingdom. Rare song manuscript found in flea market


 It is primarily a scorcher today in Western Massachusetts but I will try to cook on the grill in celebration of the day. I hope you all can do the same. Have a nice Fourth of July and God Bless America!

Bush cites ongoing Debate about George Washington's legacy, no longer concerned about his own, we're in trouble!

Bush cites ongoing debate about George Washington's Legacy: No longer concerned about his own, we're in trouble!First I want to say Happy 4th of July! I was not aware Washington's legacy was still being debated. Bush's will be debated for years if we are lucky.

However his destruction of our American and world order has already settled his Legacy as the worst President in History.In the past I am sure I am not the only one that being very disgusted and greatly disappointed with Bush's corruptive ineptitude as he blindly discards our societal and world order to replace it with his version of new order.

All along his perverted course he has always been outspoken as to his concern for his Legacy. That has always been mind blowing watching every detrimental move he has made. Anyway not anymore. I saw an interview last night that I cannot find and hope someone can help me. But he is no longer concerned about his legacy and it will speak for itself for many years into the future. As we see it everyday, It is speaking now and getting worse with every corruptive move.

He is just blindly focused on changing our order and is ignorant to reality thinking we will all thank him for this fiasco. He ignorantly said George Washington's Legacy was still being debated today so he is sure he will be debated for many years. George Washington's mat still be talked about but not debate. We know he did good for the country.

Bush's will be debated until eternity because of how destructful he was to Our America. There will be no question as to that. He will continue to ignore the entire world believing his legacy will in the end speak well of him. So he will stay the course as he proved by reprieving Libby and he will totally vindicate him. Hell where is his Presidential Citation, it was only a little treason.

That is very scary for us and the entire world. As we celebrate another 4th of July I am reminded that growing up in Salem, Massachusetts the 4th of July was always our favorite holiday and we celebrated at the Salem Willows. As I watch and listen daily to Bush's destruction and ignorance of our America and its order and do it with utter disdain I have to pray that we can survive Bush's next 4th and survive the mess he has made.
