Happy 4th of July! Today, let's enjoy our families, cookouts, libations and cigars too. We bitch and moan about cigar deals, commies, and even each other. But thank goodness we get to bitch and moan because we're free to do so in this country.

Today is Wednesday, July 4, the 185th day of 2018. There are 180 days left in the year. This is Independence Day.
Today's Highlight in History:
On July 4, 1776, the Declaration of Independence was adopted by delegates to the Second Continental Congress in Philadelphia.
On this date:
In 1802, the United States Military Academy officially opened at West Point, New York.
In 1817, ground was broken for the Erie Canal in Rome, New York. The middle section of the waterway took three years to complete; the entire canal was finished in 1825.
In 1826, 50 years to the day after the Declaration of Independence was adopted, former presidents John Adams and Thomas Jefferson both died.
In 1831, the fifth president of the United States, James Monroe, died in New York City at age 73.
In 1872, the 30th president of the United States, Calvin Coolidge, was born in Plymouth, Vermont.
In 1917, during a ceremony in Paris honoring the French hero of the American Revolution, U.S. Army Lt. Col. Charles E. Stanton, an aide to Maj. Gen. John J. Pershing, declared: "Lafayette, we are here!"
In 1939, Lou Gehrig of the New York Yankees delivered his famous farewell speech in which he called himself "the luckiest man on the face of the earth."
In 1942, Irving Berlin's musical revue "This Is the Army" opened at the Broadway Theater in New York.
In 1947, the small central California town of Hollister was overrun by thousands of motorcycling enthusiasts, dozens of whom ended up being arrested, most for drunkenness, in what came to be called the "Hollister Riot."
In 1966, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Freedom of Information Act, which went into effect the following year.
In 1987, Klaus Barbie, the former Gestapo chief known as the "Butcher of Lyon (lee-OHN')," was convicted by a French court of crimes against humanity and sentenced to life in prison (he died in September 1991).
In 1997, NASA's Pathfinder spacecraft landed on Mars, inaugurating a new era in the search for life on the red planet. CBS newsman Charles Kuralt died in New York at age 62.

Ten years ago: Former Sen. Jesse Helms, an unyielding champion of the conservative movement who'd spent three combative and sometimes caustic decades in Congress, died in Raleigh, North Carolina, at age 86. Dara Torres completed her improbable Olympic comeback at age 41, making the U.S. team for the fifth time by winning the 100 freestyle at the trials in Omaha, Neb. Actress Evelyn Keyes died in Montecito, California, at age 91.
Five years ago: Egypt's interim president, Adly Mansour, was sworn in following the ouster of Mohammed Morsi, the Islamist leader overthrown by the military after just one year in office. The Statue of Liberty reopened on the Fourth of July, eight months after Superstorm Sandy shuttered the national symbol of freedom. Bernadette Nolan, 52, a member of the singing sister act the Nolans who had a worldwide hit in 1979 with "I'm In The Mood For Dancing," died in Surrey, England.
One year ago: The United States confirmed that North Korea had launched an intercontinental ballistic missile, as the North had boasted and the U.S. and South Korea had feared. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson called it a "new escalation of the threat" to the U.S. Joey Chestnut gulped down 72 dogs and buns in 10 minutes to beat his own record and hoist the Mustard Belt for a 10th time at the annual Nathan's Famous July Fourth hot dog eating contest.

No way they were going to take all that public heat, certainly not done that fast because they are warm hearted institutions.

the redhead was coming over to watch fireworks from my roof, grill a couple of ribeyes, corn on the cob, and oven browned potoatoes.
well she has a friend who's all alone, and guess what? figured I'd grab another steak but noooo, she wants hot dogs and salad, she has a bad stomach. so I grabbed hots and salad because the redhead didn't think it would be right for us to eat steak in front on her.

Bullshit! You offer a steak and if she prefers dogs let her eat what she wants but that doesn't mean you have to deprive yourself.

Afternoon Tony, Daves, and Dean. CI Daily Deal has undercrown corona viva, but maduro? The ones I've purchased in the past have the Mexican SA leaf and don't recall those have the maduro tag. CI description still has the SA wrapper. WTF, these have not always been called maduro, have they?

I am now noticing these have a "maduro" band at the foot. The regular CV's I've been buying for years do not have that band. I'm thinking these are different wrapper but the old description on this offering. Too bad, that would be a nice deal on the traditional corona viva.

Not sure what they've called them but I've definitely heard the San Andres wrapper referred to as maduro.

I know for a fact they've never called it a maduro, nor did it have that band at the foot. Shenanigans.

The ones they sell in NJ at Costco and such are fountains and ground effects. No rockets, mortars or cakes.
