Independence Day!
Woot!
America!
I'm writing this without irony. Yeah, yeah, we've got problems. Yeah, yeah, we've done horrible things. All in all, though, I'll take the good ole US of A over most countries past, present, or (let me clamber out on an arrogant American limb here) future.
Maybe it's too much to say: "We're number one!" How about a more humble yet still kickass: "We're in the top five! We're in the top five! U-S-A! U-S-A!!"
But I digress.
July 4th the Bracco/Columbus faction had returned to Rocky Point. We Larrisons soldiered on and had a good time.

| The late afternoon light was gorgeous on the black water. I couldn't take enough pictures. Most of them were awesome. |

| See what I'm talkin' about? |
 |
| 'Nuff said. |
 |
| What I love about this picture is the feet beneath the water (I feel that feeling when I look at them --- that "my feet are submerged in lakewater" feeling) and the tilted, tree-studded horizon. And Elizabeth's cryptic smile. |
