Happy Birthday America!

All across America today, almost everyone celebrated the 231st anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. Some held their traditional family get-togethers with fireworks and barbecues while others celebrated in alternative ways; if nothing more than to have a day off in the middle of the week.

And, yes, some unlucky poor sots had to work today ;(

My memory of July 4th, 2007 will forever be linked to this photo:


Joey Chestnut brings home to America our claim on the hot dog eating champion of the world: 66 hot dogs (with buns) in 12 minutes in Nathan's hot dog eating competition held at Coney Island.

Urrrpp.
