The hot and muggy Fourth, at any rate. Our town has had its parade, and shot off its fireworks, and at midnight they will ring the bell in the Congregational Church (it being the oldest one in town) to proclaim liberty throughout the land.
Happy Independence Day to all my US readers — and for those of you from other parts, please take and hold these good wishes in reserve for your own national holidays, whenever they may be.
