It’s hard to believe it’s already July, but now that the sun has come out it’s a little more convincing. Of course, in Milwaukee we are treated to fireworks fairly regularly throughout the summer. However, this round of explosions in the sky is specifically reserved for celebrating the independence and freedom we enjoy in our country. When most of the year politics tends to drive us into different camps, this is a nice time to set all that aside, have a picnic and ooh and aah at the spectacle overhead.
