Re: Happy & safe 4th of July, Everyone!
Remember Bogert. In these days of being sensitive to every subset of human being, we must consider that some of our friends here are from the England and they may not perceive the 4th of July as a day to celebrate.

It really struck me as funny because I hadn't considered there were two sides to that story. I just happened to be on the happier side.

And that's how I took you... But you're right, we do tend to see only one side.

As did I.
I however didn't pick up on the connection to the English specifically. I'm surprised I missed that one, but it went right over my head
