I noticed that the first item on the house meeting agenda was to “come to some unified agreement about the tea kettle.” I was surprised that there might be anything controversial about the tea kettle.
summer rain
As I was walking home, it started raining one and a half blocks before I got to my house. I had an umbrella in my backpack, but I opted not to use it. I wanted to have the experience of being rained on. I highly recommend the experience.
trying templates (and potential car wrecks) on for size

Or irreverence, as it were. In any case, I would submit that it is celebrated here at least as much as Flag Day. I think.
