Happy 4th of July!

[The Gopher]

Well it's not quite the 4th yet, but i'm on the computer now and probably won't be tomorrow.

First, i'd like to thank everyone who has or is currently serving our country, A BIG THANK YOU!

Second, i hope everyone is having a happy and healthy holiday. Today we just lounged around the yard and i even got some bow building in. the bow i'm working on in the picture is for my son who really wanted to help, as you can see. don't worry i wasn't actually using the drawknife when he was sitting like that, we were just posing, but he sure did want to help. the bow will be an osage self bow, 36" long.

Don't take this the wrong way but I wish people would start calling it Independence Day.  The very signing of that document led to many men being tortured, losing all their possessions, and their lives.  It would be great if we all practiced a little more independence and a little less dependence.  Not trying to say that you are unpatriotic,your post shows quite the opposite, just feel like the true meaning is slipping away.

Well Happy Independence Day.

Happy Independence Day to all my American friends and Trad Gangers

[Ric O'Shay]

The Declaration of Independence represents the most prominent, official, consensus position of the Founders' rationale for declaring independence from England. It states in part:

"When in the course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness......"

It is Independence Day that we celebrate on July 4th.

Enjoy your Life, your Liberties and pursue Happiness.
