The 4th is even more special to us, since my parents arrived and landed in Chicago on the 4th, escaping a Communist regime and getting their freedom. On the 4th.
I, and a bunch other boaters wiill be out on Anclote Island, just west of New Port Richey/Holllyday, just North of Tampa, Bring your boat, babe, brots and a beer. (we will have plenty of beer) and join the fun.

What's a "gettering"?

Buck

It's fixed.

wife is on call on the 4th, but we will be out there the sunday before

Communists or no Communists, even they would have to agree the weather was better back in California.

Just kidding. Have a great 4th, and if your parents are still around, tell them that someone that does't even know them recognizes that immigration made this country great.

BAM! Called out on your spelling by someone from Arkansas. OUCH!!!

LOL X.. it's not the spelling, more like typing. I hate typing.
Dad, Mom and Sis is still around, but have major medical issues. (not my Sis) However, they were refugees, with political asylum now all citizens.

Where from, if you can say?

Sure.. I can say it in several languages.
We all came from Hungary. Or Magyarorszag, (if you will) in 1971.
I got here in early June, Mom, Dad and Sis on the 4th.
