Another stupid email from my apartment management, this time connecting freedoms of the United States to their services. Really, somebody is trying too hard to be clever.
Hi Bryan,
Let FREEDOM RING!!! Today we are celebrating our independence. We are grateful for the freedom we all experience as Americans. As a resident of our community you have many FREE services we provide. Feel FREE to call us if we can serve you!
We’re glad you’re a resident!

I caught the last few minutes of the Italy vs German soccer game in Chicago. That’s all I needed to watch. 0 to 0 in overtime, Italy scores two goals in a minute to win. woot!
I made it to Seattle! Wearing earplugs on the flights was the best idea I’ve ever had. Both had multiple babies that wouldn’t stop crying the whole flight (the parts I was awake for, anyways). Especially the four hour flight from Chicago, there was one two rows ahead of me that was really wailing non stop for hours.
The fireworks here were crazy last night. I didn’t see any of the professional shows, but there was plenty going off in the neighborhood. All around us people were launching artillery shell-style fireworks from their driveways. Not just a few people, it was about one launch per block. It was like driving into Bahgdad and seeing anti-aircraft fire. The smell of burned gunpowder was all over and the air was full of smoke. So awesome a sight and sound.
