My son likes to cause a scene by going up to his loft and playing the bongos very loudly.

It's a little drum attic.

A Rare Declaration of Independence Has Been Found, Filed Away in England as ‘Paperwork.’

A rare surviving copy of the Declaration of Independence, seized by Britain’s Royal Navy in 1776, has been uncovered in England.

PULSE POINTS

❓ WHAT HAPPENED: A rare copy of the Declaration of Independence, printed in Exeter, New Hampshire, in July 1776, was discovered in The National Archives in Kew, England. The document, one of only 11 surviving from this specific printing, was seized by the Royal Navy during the Revolutionary War and had been hidden in the archives for centuries.

📍 WHEN & WHERE: The document was first uncovered in February 2023 by Michael Scurr, a volunteer cataloging Royal Navy captains’ papers, at The National Archives in Kew.

💬 KEY QUOTE: “It’s a vanishingly rare surviving copy of the Declaration of Independence, found not in America, but here in the UK.” – Saul Nassé, Chief Executive of The National Archives

🎯 IMPACT: The discovery holds significant historical value, as it is the only known copy of the Declaration to be captured in a military action. It will now be part of the “Revolution 250: America’s Independence Story” exhibition, offering new insights into the history of the American Revolution.

📺 DETAIL: The copy was seized by the Royal Navy in 1776 on Christmas Eve, when HMS Raisonable captured an American ship, the Dalton, near Portugal. It was later stored with the correspondence of Captain Thomas Fitzherbert and remained hidden in the archives for hundreds of years. Conservation efforts have stabilized the document for study and display. The National Archives already holds three original copies printed by John Dunlap in Philadelphia on July 4, 1776.

President Ulysses S. Grant on the American centennial, July 4, 1876. Grant had seen the country through hard times. Custer's death at Little Bighorn was only 9 days before this. Yet Grant urged Americans to have faith.

Apparently, lemons aren't naturally occurring

Lemons are a hybrid fruit created by crossbreeding a bitter orange and a citron, meaning the fruit we know today was cultivated through centuries of selective breeding rather than existing as a naturally occurring wild species

bets still on the table America, yet.

140 years ago today, Karl Benz unveiled the first gas-powered car in Germany. It had no steering wheel, no roof, and a top speed of 10 mph

His wife, Bertha Benz, once secretly drove it 66 miles to prove it wouldn’t explode

Jon Erwin says 'Young Washington' traces how a young man chasing personal glory discovered a deeper calling: to serve others rather than himself. He points to Jesus' own words on servant leadership as the heart of the story. https://t.co/190TX5Wb9K

Just three and a half months before the tragic 1977 plane crash that claimed the lives of Steve Gaines, his sister and backing vocalist Cassie Gaines, and frontman Ronnie Van Zant, Lynyrd Skynyrd took the stage in Oakland for a 4th of July weekend concert.

Though only a partial recording survives, it captures the band at full force. Among the three songs performed, two are the ones any fan would skip straight to: “Sweet Home Alabama” and the timeless closer, “Free Bird.” The set opens with an excerpt of their bluesy cover of Jimmie Rodgers’ “T for Texas,” before launching into a six-minute stretch of “Sweet Home Alabama.” Released three years earlier as a rebuttal to Neil Young’s “Southern Man” and “Alabama,” the song had become an anthem—made even more ironic by reports that Van Zant performed that day wearing a Neil Young T-shirt.

The show ends with the legendary “Free Bird,” Skynyrd’s magnum opus and a live staple rivaled only by Led Zeppelin’s “Stairway to Heaven” for closing power. Guitarist Allen Collins tears through the five-minute solo while Gary Rossington layers in his signature slide and “bird-chirp” effects. Pianist Billy Powell adds a hauntingly beautiful solo unique to the live version, rounding out one of the last—and most electric—performances by the original lineup.
