every day is the fourth of july

There are a lot of nice front porches in my neighborhood decked out with red, white, and blue bunting. The colors usually blossom in the spring and last until the leaves fall in autumn. It doesn’t feel like the “patriotism” that gets tossed around the political pulpits over the wearing of a flag lapel pin. There are more Texas flags (which share the same colors) than U.S. flags, so I tend to think it’s more of the peculiar mindset Texans have about their own “country”.
Hope everyone has a safe and happy Independence Day.
I’m thinking about how I can be less dependent on the electrical grid.
