Thanks NostalgiaKick!

I came across this video about the origins of the U.S. national anthem and its connection to the U.S. Flag. It's something I learned more about from my elders (who were part of "The Greatest Generation") than from teachers in U.S. history, and always found the story very moving. And gave me a different perspective on the fireworks on July 4th.

Have a safe and sane 4th, my fellow Americans -- and remember, if fireworks are banned in your area, please don't play with them. Superman isn't real and can't put out wildfires.

"How do you know I’m mad?" said Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn’t have come here.”
