The church over the road has been practising its campanology (bell-ringing, for those who have never read The Nine Tailors ;) ), and they seem to be in a distinctly American mood. We just had Battle Hymn of the Republic, and now I'm pretty sure they're attempting The Star-Spangled Banner.
You have no idea what a dissonance of identity that causes to someone who's just spent her morning reading The Fortune of War. My imagination is still in the War of 1812.

It burned burned burned while the President ran and cried
It burned burned burned and we're the ones that did it
It burned burned burned, and things were very historical
And the Americans cried like a bunch of babies wah wah wah
In the War of 1812!
