    … once again, a celebration of the signing of the Declaration of Independence … and again I tried to put myself in the mind set of those who committed everything including their lives to pursue and attain freedom for the approximately 2,400,000 people who lived in the colonies at the time. The signers of the Declaration of Independence … lots of other links on these pages that are worth reading …

    I doubt if they would recognize the country we have become, but thanks to the genius in how they framed the Declaration and later the Constitution, they set in motion and established what is still the greatest nation on the face of the earth and we are a noble people! To be a citizen of this great country is an honor. The experiment goes on. Take the time to read our founding documents and see for yourself the genius that established a government that is has limited and enumerated powers … beyond those granted, the federal government cannot act although they certainly try!

    I love the photo of the two bald eagles above … symbols of freedom and truly free … no tags or bands and they are like old friends that I see on nearly every trip to the lake.

    Below is a shot of a Cattle Egret taking off soon to be joined by the two Snowy Egrets perched on the rocks … free also and the egrets, eagles and all other creatures on the planet must provide for their own needs … with freedom come responsibilities.

    I hope your day was blessed and that you will continue to enjoy life as you head into the rest of this glorious holiday weekend … back Monday.

    With joy and gratitude,

    Ted

    Occasionally permit self-abandonment to the
    caprice of beauty; rush past this sentinel that keeps
    you in the prisoned city, and live for an hour in the
    house of the world, acquainting yourself with the still
    people in the air.

    Learn the music of a summer night by the restless
    wave of the sea, or surrender to the sunlight of an
    open country where the illimitable sky at last meets
    to kiss the sweet green earth, and stay till the crimson
    shafts burn the western world;

    And something will rise in you that is not connected
    with the tiring routine of your trade— something
    strange and calm.

    Something Will Rise in You by Max Ehrmann

    If I Were Curtis Sliwa
    By Tommy Acosta

    One of my guilty little pleasures is imagining what I would do if I was in someone else’s shoes, especially politicians. In this essay I would love to jump into the shoes of Curtis Sliwa, a former New York City vigilante who founded the Guardian Angels and is now running as a Republican for mayor of his city.
