Kind of a messed up holiday, this year - a long weekend would have been nicer. Nonetheless, I wish you all a hot barbeque, Bright Fireworks and cold beer on this Day!
Have a good one

Hitting a super wal*mart today (only thing that's open and we need some camping supplies for this weeked) - what are the odds that wave 9 (2k8 wave 5) will be on the shelf?
I'll let you know this evening!

Even at a super Wal*Mart there was only 1 peg on the shelves dedicated to G.I. Joe and it was empty. :(

I think we are one of the only place in the world in that situation. So that means :
- No more truck are available that day
- All price are boost up for that day
- And more people are working that day (just think all the addresse and phone number to change

In Quebec we wish everyone a happy "moving day". That has nothing to do with the separatist ideology, but more because most of the apartment leases finish June 30th. So most of the people need to move July 1st to their new apartment.

I know it's not technically a separatist thing, but it does seem conveniently coincidental... I mean, they'd never make it on June 24th! :P
I always thought it was weird, though... but maybe that's why we only got new neighbors from Quebec in the summer

I spent it having a BBQ with friends in my backyard, showing off my toy rooms (again), and then chilling with the "late comers" until late at night.
Oh, and I had 3 beers, sausage, burger, trifle, cake, and a great time. :-)

The official reason was they didn't want to move children from schools to schools during the year. So, on July 1st school is finished for all... but sometimes, somewhere classes aren't always ended June 24th :shifty:
