    Hi james katz,

    Just wanted to wish you a Happy & SAFE 4th of July. Here's some helpful or funny advice.

    3 THINGS TO MAKE SURE YOU KNOW
    1 ...where you're going
    2 ...when it's time to leave
    3 ...where you live (well enough to tell someone else how to get there)

    Be Safe, Have Fun & above all BE AMERICAN!!!
