We went to a parade in Bar Harbor, ME that included a car for women veterans and two different groups promoting immigration rights and then no kings-church vs state, etc.

Love hearing that people are using the usual parades to make this sort of statement!!! Yay.

I agree with you, and grieve for the people in the part of Texas that’s suffering from the worst flooding in decades. So many lives lost and impacted!

Looking on is sad. I hope the rest people have will be good for them. I must have missed our news reports, I did not know of flooding in Texas.

I'm spending the weekend with friends, who are all true-blue (many elderly and/or disabled and/or poor) so we'll celebrate ... us.

My husband, a Brit, is very superior about the 4th of July, so we don't usually do much. I visited my mother on Friday. It was a beautiful day in Connecticut, punctuated by stabs of despair as I glanced at the New York Times.
