Happy 234th birthday America!

Don't look for an LFS op-ed this week because the one I wrote didn't clear. That's okay because I know from experience readership lags on holidays anyway.

You can all catch up on Monday. Unless something absolutely earthshattering breaks where I need to comment, I just might see you at the Allen parade or more likely at the Shorebirds game tonight. But I won't be here.

So enjoy the day and celebrate what's great about America - while we still can.
