A Hungry Saturday:9 on the 4th of July.....

Happy Independence Day (in the USA)!!

Hungry

Welcome to Saturday: 9. What we've committed to our readers is that we will post 9 questions every Saturday. Sometimes the post will have a theme, and at other times the questions will be totally unrelated. Those weeks we do "random questions," so-to-speak. We encourage you to visit other participants posts and leave a comment. Because we don't have any rules, it is your choice. We hate rules. We love memes, however, and here is today's meme!

Saturday 9: Hungry (1966)
... because it's 4th of July 

Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.

1) Are you eating anything as you respond to these questions?  No.

2) Paul Revere and the Raiders performed in Revolutionary garb. Have you ever worked at a job that required you to wear a uniform?  No.

3) The "Paul Revere" of Raiders fame was born Paul Revere Dick in Boise, Idaho. What else is Idaho known for?  Potatoes!!!  :)

4) The original Paul Revere was a silversmith by trade,  known for making church bells. Can you hear church bells from your home?  No.  There is a church within walking distance, but they don't have bells.

5) In April 1775, Paul Revere literally rode into history when he galloped into the night, spreading the word that "the British are coming." Name another Revolutionary War-era hero.  George Washington; John Adams; Thomas Jefferson; Ben Franklin; many, many men and women who fought for our freedom and would be appalled today.

6) Historians tell us that Revere's famous "midnight ride" actually took place between 9:00 and 10:00 PM. When is your usual bedtime?  10:00 on work nights.

7) Earlier this year, officials from Boston's Museum of Fine Arts uncovered a time capsule buried in 1795 by Paul Revere and Gov. Sam Adams. It included coins and newspapers. If you were to bury a time capsule that reflects American life in 2015, what would it include?  A Bible so they would know there were still Christians. A cell phone so they could laugh at our archaic technology. Pictures of cities and farms and homes. A picture of loved ones.  A newspaper.

8) Will you attend a fireworks display during the 4th of July weekend? No. 

9) What's your preferred way to celebrate Independence Day -- a parade, a picnic, or both?  Having a meal with friends and we are going there this year (no clean up for me!).  Since it is on Saturday, we will also go to the Vigil Mass.  We will fly the flag.

Thanks to 'Crazy Sam' for another Saturday:9!!

Thanks so much for joining us again at Saturday: 9. As always, feel free to come back, see who has participated and comment on their posts. In fact sometimes, if you want to read & comment on everyone's responses, you might want to check back again tomorrow. But it is not a rule. We haven’t any rules here. Join us on next Saturday for another version of Saturday: 9, "Just A Silly Meme on a Saturday!" Enjoy your weekend!

Thanks for coming by!!  Happy 4th of July.  God Bless America, land that I love.
