As Independence Day draws to a close, time to contemplate being American. Which I'm not, but my son is, so it's probably quite wonderful at the minute as he seems fascinated by any tiny little thing.
I think the best thing I've heard of late was on the local news. San Francisco is hosting the Major League Baseball (MLB) All Stars game. Which, most people are getting very excited about. Wereas I am probably more worried about how much extra traffic it's going to cause. (No, that's not true - it's still a sport, so I will be compelled to watch it). Anyway, back to the American thing, the news presented quoted:
This [MLB All Stars game] is going to be a truly international event as people will be coming from all over the country!
Still, when you name your biggest domestic competition the World Series, what should I expect?
Then again, if I didn't like it here, I wouldn't be here. So it's time to head out and watch some fireworks go bang.
