Let Freedom Ring Again

I just happened to be in Philadelphia for yet another great moment in history. Today, the Liberty Bell was moved for the first time since 1976. I'm sort of sequestered in a hotel right next to Independence Mall, where the bell has been in a pavillion for the last 27 years. Many precautions, including sensors on the bell's crack, were taken for this historic event. Although they were moving it less than 1000 feet, it was one of those monumental tasks, since the bell weighs over a ton. Hey, at least I was nearby. More than I can usually say for a lot of those historical moments. All patriots, please rise, and let freedom ring! See ya.
