Speaking of July 4th, I really enjoy the fact that the Uncle Sam costume in yesterday's "post" is advertised as coming with a "velvet jacket" and "shirt not included." A shirtless Uncle Sam in a velvet jacket! And now I am remembering that as a child I once went out on Halloween dressed as Uncle Sam. WHY? Nothing against Uncle Sam, but that is the worst Halloween costume ever. And it was a cheap plastic store-bought mask complete with phony hat. Why were they selling that at Halloween? From now on I will never stop cringing.
