Happy Independence Day!
I’d like to share the story about the David Muir exclusive, climbing up to the top of the Statue of Liberty. But when I go to ABC News website and literally type in “David Muir Statue of Liberty,” not a goddamn thing pops up about David Muir climbing the Statue of Liberty. So fuck ABC News. I’ll post a competing news site’s story instead. See here. Maybe it’s there someplace and ABC just has a horrible search engine built into their website.
Anyways, I happened to catch Muir on Kelly & Mark where they were interviewing him about his climb. Muir stated how he was shocked to learn that the statue sways. Really? Shocked? I mean, I’m not in the news business and I’m only a few years older than him, so surely he remembers when the whole swaying thing was an issue back in 1982-1986 when they had to shut it down for a while to restore it by July 4, 1986. Reagan. Iacocca. Statue of Liberty. Truly, an all-American story for Independence Day as we celebrate America 250!
In the spirit of patriotism, here is a picture of a set of uncirculated coins from 1979 that I have.
No camping this year for us during the long weekend. Almost done fixing the bracket holding up the fresh water tank on the RV.
