I don't know where it was, or if it's real...but it was on Facebook so at least it's cause for hope.  A blurb on Facebook posted that somewhere drivers can now be ticketed for sitting in the left lane and holding up traffic.    

It is a rite of passage for a 16 year old to go down to DMV for that coveted driver’s permit. A day filled with excitement and anticipation. Imagine your horror when you go to look for your permit one day and realize it’s not there.

Today is the Wimbledon men's finals.  It is going on right now, in fact.  The finalists are our two favorite players, Djokovic and Federer.  Who to root for?  

The first actual Independence Day took place on July 8th so we celebrate on the fourth. Go figure.   Congress declared July 4th a national holiday 175 years later in 1941. Guess one of the politicians had a flag business and wanted to increase sales. Now we import over $3.6 million flags...most of them from China.  

What do you write when you blog on the 4th of July?  Do you go with trivia, trivial, practical, sentimental, clever? Before I go there, I must remark that I suppose it's good that the holiday falls on a Friday this year giving us a 3 day weekend and all. Personally, however, I like when it come on a Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday, allowing you to create a mini vacation. Trivia: the vote on the Declaration of Independence was on July 2nd and the Union was saved on that same day at Little Round Top during the Battle of Gettysburg. 

I may be a News Junkie and, if so, I'd like to consider going on a twelve-step program.
