America 250th anniversary this year !

Fireworks are futile here as it is generally too light to see them. People do set off the bang ones though or just step onto the back porch and shoot a shotgun. Our fireworks are done on New Years when it is dark and -40.

Our shotguns are used for New Year's Eve.

One of the special things happening this year was the Freedom Train, which has been working its way across America sine the spring of this year.
President Trump flew out to meet the train and rode on the train as it went on towards Washington DC, stopping along get way for people to wave at the president, just like happened back in the olden days when presidents went on trains to campaign instead of flying everywhere.
