“But what do we mean by the American Revolution? Do we mean the American war? The Revolution was effected before the war commenced. The Revolution was in the minds and hearts of the people; a change in their religious sentiments, of their duties and obligations. … This radical change in the principles, opinions, sentiments, and affections of the people was the real American Revolution.” —John Adams
Ken,
I would say that Adam’s quote was directed at only 1/3 of the population. 1/3 were Loyalists, 1/3 Revolutionaries, and 1/3 neutral…
Regardless, have a safe 4th. Make sure you keep all 10 fingers and toes (and other external parts) for the next 24 hours…
Happy 4th of July to all my American friends.

And a lot of those neutral were in Penna, since most of Pa was settled by Quakers.
Have fun but PLEASE don’t start any fires!!! Paul

Happy and safe 4th everyone.
This may be fictional, but I thought it was a good speech
Smoking baby back ribs…flying the flag of the Continental Army. Hope you all are enjoying your fourth as much. 
I got some railroady stuff done this morning before the heat got too bad. Now I’m inside organizing projects. Have two pork tenderloins marinating, will grill those up this evening.
…and that’s all I got to say about that.

If you have not crossed the state-line by now then you are probably going to be late for dinner.
Chopped brisket in sauce and baby-back ribs…

Yum.
Worked.
Got to go home early, so I sat outside and watched the neighbor’s fireworks.
I always get nervous this time of year… I’m outside making sure the neighbors don’t set my home on fire. The nearest hydrant is a mile away.
At least we are no longer raining bullets!
All right front and center!
Present Fingers!
I had to work my 16th 4th of July. I don’t even remember what it feels like to enjoy a 4th. Happy late 4th.
Shawn,
Don’t you have some seniority by now? (https://largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-undecided.gif)
