Dizzying

In some semblance of order:

• Mowed the lawn, racing a storm. I won.


• Bought fresh cayenne peppers and more olive oil at the farmer's market.


• Took the kids to see The Last Airbender. It was way better than I thought it was going to be.


• Rounded up my own kids, and some neighborhood kids for the next town over's 4th of July show. Got rained out.


• Took "challenge" photographs


• Our neighbors (originally from from Idaho) invited us over for dinner on the 4th. I had no idea what this was going to entail:




• Ate BBQ goat & drank two bottles of homemade wine at ~20% ABV. A semi-sweet peach, and a blush cactus. Holy shit.


• Dug a hole for BBQ goat carcass after photographing the head. On a stick. As a warning to all other goats.


• Watched Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief




• Went to Anna's 4th of July Event.


• drax0r and I (and our brood of kids) helped clean up the aftermath of the 4th of July Event.


• Took my wife to see Eclipse. It was way worse than I thought it was going to be.




• As an aside, if Bella was topless as much as Jacob was this movie, I likely would've enjoyed it much, much more.




• Took "challenge" photographs


• Mowed the lawn. Yes, again.

I'm guessing my Independence Day was weirder than your Independence Day.

Am I wrong?

If you've ever walked the souks of Turkey, or as close as I got, the Turkish parts of Germany (and to a lesser degree the Schwarma of Northern Africa/Middle East), you can get a doner kabob (http://www.google.com/images?hl=en&q=doner+kebab&um=1&ie=UTF-8&source=univ&ei=4v8zTK-6G8Xflgfqj7G_Cw&sa=X&oi=image_result_group&ct=title&resnum=4&ved=0CDkQsAQwAw) from a street vendor which are simply magnificent (I think they use lamb, but its close). In short, yes. Amazing, and delicious. I've just never had one that...fresh before.

Speaking of before:
