Wave those flags, Patriots!
Hey there, Readers All,
A special shout out to the Nineteen (you know who you are) who found something to read in last week's basket. Here's hoping I didn't let you down. Now then, on to our annual Independence Day Extravaganza. What's my favorite part of this holiday? Not the fireworks (oh HELL no) and when I want BBQ, I go up to 125 and the Hudson River to Dinosaur BBQ for that. Nope. Best part of these holidays is that half the people in the city leave. This is a surprisingly liveable city with most of the oxygen-suckers out of the picture!
Let's get to the guts of the red, white, and blue, shall we?

Not gutsy enough? I got more.

Lest we forget we're s'posed to be celebrating here, let's see what my partner in life and art has for us this week.

Dissecting the Guts of the 4th Of July
Hat's by the door and soft murmurs of appreciation for coinage that hits it. Most appreciated!
https://ko-fi.com/remingtonwriteI gotta tell you that putting this together each week keeps me going forward. If you're getting anything out of it, groovy. Over the course of 140-odd weeks some hundred or so Readers All have subscribed and about twenty of them dropped away here and there. There have been, of course, the occasional bots. And here we are with over eighty solid souls still ready to slog away with me. Damn. And a special nod and secret wink to the premium subscribers (goodies on the way for the premiums, btw).
Everyone remember, every noontime confession and midnight regurgitation of compliments are welcome at: Remington.write@gmail.com
Time to get back to it!
