A very happy Independence Day to all of you (Americans).
Just the other day, on our way out of town to Albany, Betty & I happened upon a Revolutionary War battle marker right on 9th Street & 4th Avenue here in Park Slope. I have to go back later this summer to see it closer, because I could barely read it from the car, but it was some evidence that American soldiers had died there (according to one account, probably by bayonet).
Also, a reminder: there is no meeting of the partners group at the Center tonight; it was moved to 7/11 so we could avoid today’s holiday.
