I just wnated to wish our neighbors to the north a Happy and fun Canada Day weekend! (I know the actual day is on Monday, but I wanted to be the first.) Thanks for hockey, Wayne Gretzky, Mike Myers, Lorne Greene, Dana Carvey, Brendan Fraser, Moosehead Beer, and just being good folks in general. ---

Yeah, damn you, **gobear**. I had a full-page thread waiting in the wings to be posted on Sunday night, but no, you had to jump the gun. I’ll just save it until next year, then, and say Happy Canadia Day. Canada. Canada. There’s no i. I know that, I swear I do. ---

Ooooooh I actually can’t WAIT for Canada Day this year!! I live in the Nations Capital (Ottawa) and this will be the first nice year in about 4 years!! (If the weather network can be believed) Last year it was about 3 degC and windy, the fireworks were cancelled. The 3 years previous were raining off and on all day. I can not WAIT to paaaaaaaaaarty!!! Thanks for all the well wishes! ---
