Well, yesterday was my first official day in my new home! I came home and was able to enjoy the quiet time while I made myself dinner and put more things away. About 8 I finished putting everything in place, and just enjoyed a quiet evening. I found out that I can get the internet (which is a blessing) and that I have to install a different media player on my pc to play movies on Netflix instant player.
I think that I am going to really enjoy this whole being alone thing, although it is going to take some getting used to. I am going up to McCall for the 4th, so I should get my fill of people.
You know, when a holiday comes around I really like to think about what it is that we are celebrating, and on the Forth of July, we are not just celebrating our freedom, but we are celebrating the men and women who were not afraid to stand up for injustice. They (through reading the Bible, and people like John Locke) knew what was rite and true and good, they knew that what was happening was not what needed to be happening. They were willing not just to die, but to loose everything, to be tortured if it came to it, to be banished from everything that they held dear.
These men who stood on faith alone, against terrible odds, who could see only a gimps of light, and they went after that light with everything they had, and they brought it to the rest of the world. Because of their bravery, and honor, and willingness, we have what we do today.
There are actually 4 verses of the Star Spangled Banner, and the last one ends by saying,

And the Star Spangled Banner
in triumph shall wave or the land of the free
and the home of the brave.
