It’s Wednesday. It was a gorgeous day last Sunday so a buddy and I went out to the Big Basin marina in Channahon, Illinois. Neither of us own a boat, but every now and then we like to hang out, have a few drinks, and check out the boating action. It sits on the Des Plaines river and isn’t much to look at, but it’s somewhat local and it attracts a wide array of watercraft.

The only problem is they don’t serve food or any snacks. There’s nothing worse than having a few beers and not having anything to munch on. Finally, last year they parked a food truck out in the parking lot. Nothing fancy, just burgers, fries, and a few other items but not really anything to snack on! Next time I think I’ll smuggle in some pretzels or chips, that oughta do the trick.

It’s Tuesday. Everyone have a decent 4th? Mine was okay. Had a nice cookout and enjoyed the day with family.

I’m sure most of you probably heard about the mass shooting in Highland Park, Illinois. A shooter killed 6 and wounded over two dozen during a 4th of July parade. They caught the shooter several hours later and at this time the motive remains unknown. I live in the far south-west suburbs and Highland Park is north of the city, so it’s nowhere near me. However I’ve been to Highland Park, quite a few times, and it’s a very nice town. But that doesn’t seem to matter anymore. If you can’t go to a parade in a nice town without getting shot, where can you go?

Where?

It’s Monday. Happy 4th to all of you out there! You know how this goes, be safe and don’t be mixing alcohol and fireworks today. You don’t want to be that guy who spends the 4th in the emergency room missing several fingers. Not fun.

Okay, I put together a special holiday gallery of babes for today. You’ll find a total of 50 babes—one for each State! I was nice because I even included one for Texas, even though they want to secede. Bastards. Anyway, enjoy!
