Drive around with a bullhorn shrieking: "Independence from foreign oil" "Independence from taxation without representation" "Independence from 21st century slave labor" "Independence from private health insurance fiasco" "Independence from the social security boondogle" :-D Marc Pensieve Some people believe what the bible says.

Five point out of how many? :) If you were independent, you wounld not need an "independence day", would you? _____________________________________________________________________________ I don't expect too much, all I want is your vote for Halbsichtigkeit.

I have to work. :(( What makes it worse is the “Taste of Minnesota” isn’t to far away from where I work. So I get to deal with all of the crowds while en-route to work. Perhaps this will be the year where people realize that roughly almost $7 dollars for a bottle of water is too expensive and $5 bucks for mini donuts just inst worth it. X|
I'd love to help, but unfortunatley I have prior commitments monitoring the length of my grass. :Andrew Bleakley:

I've been vegetarian for about 6 months now. I don't really miss it that much, but a good ham sandwich is a divine pleasure. As far as being a carnivore sushi is where it's at. Mmmmmmmm raw meat. Though everytime I think about it I just have to remember colesterol, my gut and my goal to have a 6 pack by the end of the year, plus the mushroom risotto that my wife made last night and those urges pass.

I see you are off that wonder bread crack. I hope you had some mustard on that. A sandwich on rye without mustard is a real shame.

and in Quebec, also known as "Moving Day" when most of the appartment leases end
Ummm... Sorry about that.... (If you didn't know - I saw a documentary a wee while ago that explained it was based on a Scots law thing centuries ago. The Scots and French were very close allies for many centuries and imported a lot of things from each other - And it then got imported into Quebec. I don't know if France still has this law, but we got rid of a long long time ago.)

Yes, I see on my calendar tomorrow is Canada Day and observed on Monday. Is it always "observed" on Monday like our Presidents' Day? And what is the significance of July 1st? (if you know...)
No. it's just because this year it falls on a saturday. The celebration remains on July 1st, but the day off is given on the next business day --- except in Quebec of course, which is the day before. But since I'm a fed public servant, I've got monday off instead of the rest of Quebecers. > And what is the significance of July 1st? signature of the British North America Act, which creates officially the Dominion of Canada (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_North_America_Act[^]), made of 4 founding provinces (Québec, Ontario, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia). Other provinces gradually been added until the last one in 1949 (Newfoundland). The last change to political map was 1999 with the creation of Nunavut. Denevers

Heh, yes. :-D Unfortunately, I never developed a taste for mustard and never add it to sandwiches or dogs. Also, I only just started eating ketchup (sparingly, with fries and potato chips). /ravi My new year's resolution: 2048 x 1536 Home | Music | Articles | Freeware | Trips ravib(at)ravib(dot)com

As I was reading along the thought oh my god he isn't putting ketchup on ham popped into my mind. I got to fries and it was all better, but then I hit potato chips, WTF? Ketchup is for burgers, fries and hot dogs.

My boss scheduled a demonstration the day following the 4th... so I will be working the weekend to catch up to the list of features he wants. If I get it all done, I will be resting... if I can't get it all done, I will be working. _________________________ Asu no koto o ieba, tenjo de nezumi ga warau.
