Just Like the Fireplace Loop for Christmas.

Although we heard a lot of firecrackers within the campground we saw little to no fireworks in the sky during the 4th of July. I am/was thankful that the campground rules prohibit fireworks within it.

Burning objects falling from the sky to the ground is not a good thing for tents, awnings, and screen houses.

Thus, like Timmothy's cartoon above we also watched the fireworks on TV as opposed to being outside, fighting mosquitos and the urge to shut our eyes and go to sleep.

Thank God our forefathers rebelled against tyranny. Thank God our forefathers gave us a minimalist government. How did we go from that minimalist government to such an invasive one focused on entitlement. I can tell you it has NOTHING to do with a government focused on God as it first was.

Do you enjoy the cartoons written by my son (Timmothy N. Timm) which I use as a springboard to write my daily posts? His strip, Titus & Philemon, has run in two newspapers for years as well as being printed in my blog every day. Titus & Philemon (pronounced Phi - Lee -Man) are guinea pigs. Their owner is Joe. Timmothy has never repeated a joke/comic strip in the 12 years he has been writing it. He has never copied another strip, such as Peanuts or Garfield. You can follow Timmothy on FB as Titus & Philemon and you can also check him out on Instagram as Instagram.com/titus and philemon/ .For Timmothy's website type timmtimmothy.com into your browser. I tried to put it in a link here but it refuses to work. Do NOT put anything in front of timmtimmothy.com or it will not work.

Hello Bob, we stay home and watch the great fireworks on TV, but we still had neighbors setting them off till midnight.

It seems like there is always some one Will Hamm BUT the 4th is certainly worth celebrating.

Thanks for sharing this thoughtful post, Bob "RealMan" Timm. I really appreciate your perspective on the 4th and the reminder of how our traditions shape us. It’s always refreshing to see reflections on history and values woven into everyday moments. Thanks for the insights! 😊

Thank you Lew Corcoran . I know we can not turn the clock back to the fundamental government we once had but at least we are having a four year period of sanity right now.

Bob "RealMan" Timm I must admit, I miss living in NY City and walking over to the East River to watch the fireworks.

I also miss my hometown fireworks Nina Hollander, Broker . They did not wait until it was totally dark and yet what we saw was awesome. Here, in Minot, they wait until well past my bedtime because they want it as dark as possible (even as late as midnight).

I didn't even watch fireworks on TV this year, but I saw some videos that friends posted on social media, haha.

I can't stay up late enough to see them Brian England . The funny thing is the people who put on the show have trouble funding it... well DAHHH. If they started earlier more people would see it and contribute to the show.
