Hope everyone enjoys this pseudo patriotic demi-holiday that is the de facto Fourth of July here in lovely Zion. The irony of them plastering my neighborhood with U.S. flags never fails to amuse me as we celebrate a holiday that would not be if the federal government hadn't chased the Mormons out of the (at the time) United States. Enjoy a slice of your favorite pie (pussy?) and a cold beer which ironically was in many ways easier to get back when this territory was first settled.
