Happy July 4th, Jess.

Any chance you could send that one to me? I would love to use it for my Sunday Patriotic Pinups at some point.

Teach, if my webmasters can put it up I will keep it up. Maybe I could even join the American flag league. What do you think Jeremy?

I am 81 %American but I feel 100 percent.
I went shopping on the 4th, expecting to see red-white and blue streamers, Old Glory and all the usual decorations. Instead, the grocery store had pink-white and brown streamers and balloons. What a slap in the face of every Patriotic American. Their reason: "We are celebrating ice cream, you know, neopolitan." They did not have to wonder what I thought of their faux pas. I made myself very clear, and also sent a letter to the main office.
About your Pinup, she sure looks patriotic, but I think her lungs are falling out. :)
