I have just realised it's a special day in America.  Hope you all have a nice day off and eat too many hotdogs and apple pie ... or whatever the special food is for today.

Yes, I still need to get in touch with most of my American acquaintances to wish them a lovely day.  Most of them entirely missed Canada Day, of course, but I'm not one to hold a grudge unless there's good reason.

Thank you, Caroline!    

I didn't do anything special today either, Kate, except read and clean up my desktops, both virtual and actual.

A belated Happy Canada Day to you, JKing!  I posted my greetings on another board, but forgot to do so here.

Little known fact about July 4 (America's Independence Day): Our 2nd president, John Adams (also our 1st vice-president) and our 3rd president Thomas Jefferson were good friends (actually more like best friends) throughout their life (except for a period starting when they ran against each other for president and ending after Jefferson's 2 terms as president). John Adams lived into his 90s & Thomas Jefferson into his 80s, both writing letters to each other until soon before they died. But get this: they both died in 1826 on the 4th of July exactly 50 years after the official signing of the Declaration of Independence!

The future ain't what it used to be!

A strange coincidence?

A cruel twist of fate?

Or just a liiiiiittle too much partying for the esteemed old gents?

Cheers, Terry

And the story goes that Adams' dying words were "Jefferson still lives", or something to that extent, not realizing that Jefferson in fact had died. Quite eerie.
