I hope everyone had a good 4th of July! I spent mine in Colorado where the weather has been gorgeous everyday this summer - except for the 4th. Rain is bad, but wind really jacks up a picnic. Every 5 minutes a shade canopy or tent was seen cart-wheeling across the wet park. That stuff is such a bummer when it happens to you, but when it happens to someone else…it’s hilarious.

I tried to help out but I could never catch up to whatever was being blown away, because I was laughing too hard! (People really love it when you laugh at their misfortune).

I actually saw one of those high-tech looking baby carriages catch some wind and sail away from a family. Everyone was frantic at first, but as soon as we found out that there was no baby in it, things became ridiculously funny. This poor Dad couldn't catch this thing to save his life. It was like it had a remote control on board. Every time he got close to it, the carriage sped up.

Eventually the thousand or so wet picnickers were cheering louder than they would’ve for any fireworks display (for the Baby Carriage to keep making a fool out of this poor bastard). Great message for Independence Day, “Laugh at your fellow American and toast that it wasn’t you this time that’s been made a fool of.” God Bless America.
