An All-American 4th of July!

We started off the holiday early by going to hear a local blues-rock band that was playing in the park, the Voodoo Lizards.  The lead singer looked like he was trying to mimic Stevie Ray Vaughan:

Sure enough, they sang "Texas Flood."  Unsatisfactorily, IMO, but an expat Texan is hard to please when it comes to a Stevie Ray Vaughan cover.  Their own songs were a lot better than their covers, definitely worth a listen.

The actual 4th was awesome.  We did go to church first thing, but we went by the store on the way home to buy chips and candy.  Then when we got home, we turned on the air conditioner, which we don't normally use.  Then I made chicken salad and we gorged ourselves on chips and salad while watching Season 4 of The Simpsons.  Then Kristian fell asleep. I polished off the chips, candy, and Season 4. ("I call the big one Bitey!")

Needless to say, by bedtime I had a seriously upset stomach. But it was worth it.
