Leaving the shade
Sultry Evening
John Adams to Abigail Adams, 3 July 1776
"But the Day is past. The Second Day of July 1776, will be the most memorable Epocha, in the History of America.—I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated, by succeeding Generations, as the great anniversary Festival. It ought to be commemorated, as the Day of Deliverance by solemn Acts of Devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with Pomp and Parade, with4 Shews, Games, Sports, Guns, Bells, Bonfires and Illuminations from one End of this Continent to the other from this Time forward forever more."

Copper coated aluminum wire is cheap, flexible and works okay for automotive purposes but not where salt, water and electricity may mix like grounding wires to the frame. Aluminum in such cases will quickly oxidize to white dust, causing resistance, heat, and failure. I learned the hard way, having to tear out that wire.
