Good morning!

And happy Independence Day week and weekend!

Personally, I tend to get caught up in life.  Focused on tasks at hand, future plans, and frazzled when things don't click.

And because of that I often take things for granted.  Like having been born in the USA.  Our Founding Fathers gave us an incredible gift.

The American experiment has delivered more prosperity and progress than any form of government in the history of the world.  And we're not yet 250 years old.  

Enjoying our cars on the open road is certainly one of the experiences that symbolize America.

Sure gas prices and inflation are ridiculous.  This year will be the most expensive 4th of July ever. 

But we still live in the greatest country that man has ever devised.  And for that, I am grateful.

God Bless America, have a great 4th!

Drive on,
