It will be celebrated…with pomp and parade…bonfires and illuminations from one end of this continent to the other.* My grand niece celebrates with sparklers in an Iowa cornfield. * John Adams, sage Founding Father, predicts how Americans will yearly celebrate the birth of our nation, some 240 years later we see he was right.

Majic, On The Rail
This is the hard-working, dedicated crew of Majic. She always wins and she’s so pretty we don’t mind…most of the time. It’s a funny thing, this envy/pride. She kicks our asses, but, dam, she is OUR home based ass-kicker. We are all proud of her when she goes out to represent MYC on the nationalContinue reading “Majic, On The Rail”
