Happy Birthday, America!

Mandi's right, we need infrastructure - if for no other reason than it allows us to blog.  And after going-on 5 days without their home (because of a pretty lame utility and a prolonged lack of electricity), my family is frazzled.

That said, a very Happy Birthday to America.  236.  You hardly look 200, baby.

As I may have mentioned once or twice in the past, America is - and hopefully always will be - a work in progress.  And so, as should befit YBGP, we will celebrate the time that America's men decided to allow us girls to vote.  It was a good decision, gentlemen.
