“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.”
On July Fourth, we celebrate much more than our independence from Great Britain. Our Founding Fathers risked their lives and reputations in the American Revolution to establish a government based on universal, permanent principles of justice.
I made a trip home to Illinois last month. My baggage from the airplane didn’t, kind of like the way the Dallas Cowboys never seem to make the Super Bowl anymore.
But that’s a column for another day.
I am crazy about aircraft of all kinds but get particularly excited over military aircraft.
Living in Navarre nestled among the many military bases and airfields, I’m three-for-three in the real estate maxim, location-location-location.
July is here and as I’m writing this – the fourth is tomorrow.
By the time you receive this, July 4, 2023, will be a two-day-old memory. However, I have some trivia for you to use next year. These are referenced from a “Good Housekeeping” article, but double checked with personal comments by yours truly.

That really would have covered all you need to know about the district set up for cross-country for the teams in this area.
Our editorial this week should be an eye-opener for anyone with children or anyone who cares about children in our school district.
