JRT,

No, I never watched that series although I certainly heard of it. You there JRT...Mmmm?

No answer. Aaah yes! Of course! It's the Fabulous Fourth which can only mean that our Chief Scribe will be otherwise occupied by the celebrations marking the end of colonial rule all those years ago.

I can see it now. Clouds of barbecue smoke, gallons of sour mash, fiddles scraping away, hordes of womenfolk closing in on elegible bachelors, flags flying, bunting fluttering in the breeze, JRT sitting astride a 24 pounder cannon (which looks suspiciously like the Saratoga one originally used by Burgoyne's men and kept for such celebrations elsewhere), and singing bawdy songs more appropriate to the Prince and Polecat on any Saturday night.

Ah well...I'll just have to settle for an evening of selected Bible readings...
