Re: Weekly Q&A July 5th

Good questions... <br /><br />1.) Neither couldn't find any fireworks to buy here, and no public displays<br /><br />2.) BBQed hotdogs and chili for chili dogs, and apple pie for desert... MMmmm it was good<br /><br />3.) This is tough, I've seen the Statue of Liberty, Sear's Tower, and one American landmark that isn't on U.S. soil anymore, the Panama Canal. All great feats with they're own meaning.<br /><br />4.) Proud to be an American.<br /><br />5.) Sedona Arizona, red rock mountains, beautiful area. Also the Columbia River Gourge (sp?) is pretty high up there.<br /><br />6.) Well, since I'm not in my community anymore, I can't comment.<br /><br />7.) For me, it represents freedom, diversity, and oportunity.
