It's July 4th here in the US. This day the US gets a day off to do whatever we feel like doing. Most of us are free to use our time however we like. We're celebrating Independence Day, the birth of my home country.

For me today is all about a very few simple things. Flying the flag, a little yard work, the back yard barbecue, and maybe a beer or two. Domestic, of course, and very likely from a small independent brewery. I'll be making some good investments today. I'll be investing in time. Time spent with family and friends, celebrating freedom and the good things it has brought us.

Have a happy and safe Independence Day.
