And how could Canada Day be complete without [Stompin’ Tom](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wGHMw_67fOk)? 😃 I finally met the BC fireman who owns the little cabin a couple of doors down. I haven’t seen the across-the-street neighbours yet, but I suspect they’ll be down; if not today, then over the 4th of July weekend. Me? I’m working today. But I’ll be long off the clock when the Canadians set off their fireworks. And since we’re moving office, I’m not going to Seattle until Thursday; so I can observe the celebration. Happy Canada Day, you North of the Border type people! 🙂 ---

Toronto had “Canada Eve” fireworks last night. How dumb is that? ---

Sorry…was offline for the big day! But it’s weird…after working for a major Canadian corporation for the past five years, I’m now in an American company. I had to go find some Canadians to go to the bar with instead. \*not hard to do…
