Mend Thine Every Flaw









America! America! God mend thine ev'ry flaw
Confirm thy soul in self-control
Thy liberty in law !

    Perfect sentiment for this meaningful day.
    (I think we both have the same photo of the American flag...I just used one in my blog today.)

    The American Flag flying has always been a most beautiful sight!!
    Is it as hot in your neck of the mountains as it is down here in the Piedmont?
    Triple digits again all weekend for us.

    Hope you had a good 4th! My girlfriend and I spent it soothing the freaked out doggies who cannot stand the booms and bangs late into the night.

    A great sentiment, but in a nation as divided as this one is it seems one person's flaw is another person's asset, and vice versa.
