Happy Fourth!
04 July 2008
Its been an exciting week.
The Canadian in me celebrated the 1st of July and now the American in me gets to celebrate the 4th. While I have serious problems with how this country is governed and even more with its hegemonistic, bellic foreign policy, I really am happy and blessed to live in the great state of Washington.
I love this country for is true assets - the deserts, the mountains and wild places and even a few of its villages. Furthermore, I love the real American people - those happy people who recognize their blessings, are always ready to lend a helping hand and try to approach things with love and humility.
Sometimes it is easy to point out the big men who take advantage or the greedy who look to exploit for their own personal gain, and while they seem to run things, the real people outnumber the parasites. And thank goodness for that.
I'm going to be on a several day road trip next week in Wyoming and I'll see many of these everyday Americans. I'll even bring a few cameras and document this all-american of journeys.
So Happy Fourth! Raise your drink of choice and celebrate the good in this country. Huzzah!
Here are a few images snapped over the past few days.
