Firecrackers

Last night was a beautiful evening to be out riding your bike and hanging out with everyone. We did not have as many for bike night as usual, and I hope it was because everyone is gearing up for the 4th of July weekend.

We heard that Governor Nixon vetoed SB202 yesterday which would have repealed the Missouri helmet law for those of us over 21. Even though I always wear a full face helmet (The older I get the more I realize I must proctect my skin) I do believe it should be my choice. It is amazing to me that the House and Senate passed this bill by a wide margin and yet the Governor felt the need to veto it. I guess he thought he knew better than the House and Senate, who are voting as their constituents ask them to. Feels alot like what is happening in Washington DC these days. That's all I have to say about politics, I'll leave that to Tim.

So, if you have been putting off buying that new helmet, thinking you would not need one, stop by because you know we are the best place to get a helmet!

4th of July is one of my favorite holidays, as I love fireworks. I have a lot of great childhood memories as well as great memories with our kids that revolve around the 4th of July. When we sit in our yard and watch the fireworks around us and the smoke fills the valley in front of the house, I can only imagine what our forefathers felt during that turbulent time in America's history as they were fighting to free us from the control of England. Nothing gives me goosebumps faster than the 1812 Overture during fireworks!

So, as you enjoy this 4th of July with your family, please remember our soldiers around the world who are 'just doing their job' to keep America as free today as it was meant to be in 1776.
