Independence Day, 2023

I usually don’t produce a full-sized article around holidays, as I am often busy with various and sundry celebrations. But I do want to put out something. Part of it is maintaining consistency. Part of it is  that I am a little nuts about the idea of a schedule.

Another website I frequent put up a very brief post yesterday. For years, he’s published a photo that “represents America” to him. More often than not, it is a poignant-critical jab at something political with just enough sentimentality to appease a wide audience. Eye-rolling stuff, that.

I figured I would do something similar. The picture above isn’t profound or remarkable. But it is the kind of thing that I know I take for granted. Freedom expressed in public lands and a high level of autonomy is not something everyone now or throughout time has been able to enjoy. A simple walk with my wife, my boys, and my dog ought to be reason for gratitude. Probably more gratitude than I give it.

Because I am thankful.
