THE FOURTH OF JULY.. 2025..
Patti and I wish all of you a happy, joyous, and safe Fourth of July three day weekend.
In the 1700s, America wasn’t really a nation of ‘United States.’ Instead, there were 13 Colonies with distinct personalities. From 1763 to 1773, Britain’s King George III increasingly placed pressure on the Colonies as he and the British Parliament enacted a succession of draconian taxes and laws on them. Excessive taxes on British luxury goods like tea and sugar were designed to benefit the British crown without any regard for the hardships of the colonists. By 1764, the phrase “Taxation without representation is tyranny” spread throughout the colonies as the rallying cry of outrage.

Also, on our dotnet Post today, we published a fun story about Oatman, Arizona, and a 4th of July Tradition they celebrate today.
Below is a link to that Post.
Again we wish each and everyone a happy, joyous, and safe 4th of July Holiday.
Cap and Patti
