Happy Fourth!

I was outside this morning trying to finish cutting the grass around the house.  Noticing an old hot-rod (you know the kind they drove in those surfer movies), I paused and waved to the driver.  He waved back. 

A few minutes later a teenager skateboarding down our road waved to me, so I returned the gesture.

What a great way to start the day.

Sad news though, some foreign students died trying to rescue some kid swimming in a local river.  Here these guys are, trying to get an education in America and while they are "foreigners", they felt it was their duty as humans to try to help a stranger.

Sad.
