Today the United States of America celebrates its 250th anniversary! I’m very happy for this great land we live in and I’m very proud to be an American. It’s one of reasons I like to travel around to see and experience as much as I can of it. Dad and I are staying in a hotel in Alamosa, Colorado tonight. I don’t think we’ll hear any fireworks because there are very intense restrictions due to the extreme fire danger we’ve seen lately. Nevertheless, we’ll celebrate.
Dad (the historian) noted that both Presidents John Adams and Thomas Jefferson died on the same day exactly 200 years ago. It was precisely 50 years to the day after the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
