Thoughts/feelings that just might not matter:

It’s the Eve of July 4th. I’ll take tomorrow off from work and this fine Gazette, but I hope you enjoy yourself, fair reader. Do come back on Thursday.

Please take a moment to sing “God Bless America” to yourself.

God Bless America,
Land that I love.
Stand beside her, and guide her
Thru the night with a light from above.
From the mountains, to the prairies,
To the oceans, white with foam.
God bless America, My home sweet home.

But “God Bless the Whole Dang World,” too, you know? In an effort to promote thought beyond our borders, I have translated the lyrics of this patriotic song to Portuguese then back to English. Enjoy, and Happy Fourth!

The God bless America,
The land that I love.
He is to the side of it, and guides it
Through the night with a light of above.
Of mountains, to the prairies,
The oceans, whites with foam.
The God bless America, my rest candy home.
