All of us at Small Dog Electronics send our best wishes for a safe and happy Independence Day. I’ll be under the Prickly Mountain float in the parade pushing our people-powered creation just as I have done for 4 decades! Then it is the traditional strawberry daiquiri party with mountain croquet and bocce at my house. My fingers are red from cutting up strawberries by the end of the day!

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed…

The most powerful statement ever on human rights and the relation of government to the governed. We celebrate our independence on Tuesday, keeping these sage words in mind.
