Ladies and germs, I know I won’t be the first to, but please allow me to wish you a very happy and hopefully safe 4th of July! I am your Low Commander of the Super Soldiers, and I want to apologize to the Commentists at large for my general lack of writing and commentering. I never would have thought that being unemployed would lead me to be busier than I ever have in my life, but here we are. That being said, DFO is very much my home, and I am thrilled to see how much we have been thriving during the madness that we are all living through these days. That being said, I can’t wait to get back to writing about beer, video games, sports and whatever you consider my BOLTMAN tirades to be.

The 4th of July is one of my favorite holidays, not because of some misguided sense of #branded and faux patriotism, but because of the general activities that come with it. Getting together with your friends, going to the pool/beach, watching fireworks and grilling with a beer in your hand. Unfortunately, all but one of those things have either been canceled or made to be an extremely stupid act this year. In their infinite wisdom, the county of San Diego have not closed the beaches this weekend, whereas nearly every other coastal county has. That means every Zonie in the state are on their way here, not to mention Ventura through Orange County. This was taken yesterday:

On top of that, pools are closed, fireworks are canceled and seeing friends puts them at risk, so I’ll just be sitting here grillin’ and drankin’

What’s on the agenda for you all today? I will be at Lady Commander’s with her and the boys, cracking a beer a little sooner than usual, and making something to go with the “German Wieners” I picked up yesterday. Here’s a hint:

In lieu of fireworks, please enjoy this mishap from 2012 where San Diego set off all of their fireworks off in 15 seconds.

Alright, that does it for me today. Get to having fun and remember to stay home and safe today. Let us know what you’re drinking, grilling, and listening to to celebrate America’s birthday. ‘MURICA!
