Paul has new neighbors. The guy came over a couple of weeks ago to introduce himself and they chatted a little. I think they moved here from Iowa. Or maybe it was Ohio. I frequently get the two confused. Anyway, the guy told Paul that they are originally from Guam.
And then he said that in a couple more weeks they would be celebrating Guam Liberation Day. He hoped the commotion wouldn't be too much of a problem.
Guam Liberation Day is today. Today when we got home from motorcycling about, there were -- no joke -- about 2 dozen extra cars parked on the street. They are barbecuing and dancing and laughing. They are having a great time.
I Googled "guam independence" (because I couldn't remember that it was called 'Liberation Day'.) and eventually came upon this: Battle of Guam. I had no idea. It's kind of neat the things you can learn from new neighbors.
