What are your jeans doing today?

continued:

O beautiful for pilgrim feet!

Whose stern impassioned stress!

A thoroughfare of freedom beat!

Across the wilderness!

AMERICA! AMERICA!

God mend thine every flaw,!

Confirm thy soul in self-control!

Thy liberty in law!

[mdngnd]

That's right, there's more:

O beautiful for heroes proved!

In liberating strife!

Who more than self their country loved!

And mercy more than life!

AMERICA! AMERICA!

May God thy gold refine!

Till all success be nobleness!

And every gain divine!

Spent a majority of Saturday evening at the Willy Wall, out by Ellis Island within view of the Statue of Liberty, few friends of mine were taking sailing lessons at the Manhattan Sailing School, so we were invited out to the bar. Amazing views of Manhattan. Had a few too many Heinekens, and it was a blast. Here are my iPhone shots from the weekend.

just got done with the fireworks show a bit ago as well...haven't gone through the pics yet, and took some video from the 34th floor on the Jersey side looking out at Manhattan, should be superb. Happy 4th everyone, last holiday in the USA proved to be a phenomenal one indeed!

More Hipstamatic Prints from this weekend..

this post pales in comparison to the rest of this page, especially Roy6 and those damned beautiful looking blackberries (still haven't been out to the lake to pick any)!

x-post from rXc thread.

had a get together w/family

got lucky and we were able to find bottle rockets, for the longest time they've been illegal in OK.

I need more practice taking pictures of fireworks. Shot a ton, but nothing really turned out.

^nice S-Works, Ale!

Last impressions before the drive home - I visited Brunico and it had a very italian ambience to me. The castle you see is Reinhold Messners Mountain Museum. The town is full of wine and food stores and I went shopping in them, to console me over the departure.

(And the cafe had a small but fantastic selection of single malts!)

Cheers,
