I feel terrible I didn't see the hot dog eating contest. Tour de France has been pretty exciting......and the Americans are doing pretty well at Wimbledon.

DU often proves that curmudgeons are found on all sides of the political spectrum!

I hope everyone has a happy Independence Day.

And now it's my turn to be a curmudgeon...I hate it when people wish me a happy July 4!

Unless they have wished me a happy July 3 and will wish me a happy July 5 tomorrow.
