Happy 4th of July from the staff and primates of TMRZoo.com. We hope you have a safe and fun holiday. Don’t forget to thank some of the people who have fought for your independence and freedom in the past and those who continue to do so. A tip of the hat to all of the veterans on the TMRZoo.com staff (unbelievably there is a ton of them) and all of those who have proudly served.
A special thanks goes out to all of the ladies that will be proudly displaying our flag on the beaches of American today. I shudder to think of what would happen to a woman wearing an Iranian flag bikini on the beaches of Kish Iran! Its the little things that make freedom so sweet.
While you are kicking back enjoying the holiday you might want to mix up some of these great cocktail recipes from our friends at Jim Beam.
