On Friday, our nation will celebrate its independence with fireworks, food and fellowship. If Founding Father John Adams had had his way, however, all of that would be taking place on Wednesday instead.

Dorothy Slade, widow of the late Harold Slade, was given the honor of unveiling a special plaque honoring the 149th Kentucky Army National Guard at the Harrison Museum.
Below: The meeting was the last of the 149th Association. Along with the presentation of the plaque, the 149th Association donated  $3,160 each to Honor Flights and Wounded Warriors of Kentucky. Representatives from each organization, on the left and right, were present at the plaque presentation to accept the 149th’s generous donations.

The Tee-Ball Tournament began Monday evening with the undefeated regular season champion Yankees facing the Reds.  
The first inning was the turning point of the game as the Yankees struck for the maximum six runs in the top of the inning and held the Reds to one in the bottom half.  An exciting triple play pulled off by the Yankees’ Simon Jenkins was the big play of the game in the opening inning.  

I am a pretty big NASCAR fan, not a spend-all-of-my-money-going-to-many-races kind of fan, but a fan never the less.  
I enjoy going to a race if I do not have to walk miles from the parking spot and have a seat close but not too close to the track.  
Too close is deafening and too far away makes it hard for a seeing impaired person to tell what number is what when the car races past at 200-plus mph.
