Happy Independence Day

Today, the day of our nation’s birth, I went with family to Mission San Juan Bautista here in California to learn about history and stuff. Since we’re talking about history, this is also the day (almost to the hour now) last year when the Chicago Cubs made a hell of a trade to get Addison Russell, super prospect Billy McKinney. Although they sent him over then for those two, the Cubs eventually got Jason Hammel back, which, believe it or not, is a good thing.
