Happy B-Day USA, Good and Bad

It’s a holiday in the USA today but most of us will have been celebrating all week. Even July 15th there will be more fireworks in Scotia thanks to Canalfest. Our own party for family and friends was last Friday night with help from Jumpin' Jack's.
For my friends outside the USA, July 4^th is “Independence Day” when we celebrate the American colonies Declaration of Independence from the British Empire.

There’s some good and some bad this week.

The good news for our family, our nephew John is home on a two week leave from his post in Iraq with the 10th Mountain Division based out of Watertown NY.

The bad news is an onslaught of malware spam disguised as holiday greetings is collecting in all our Email in-boxes. Many appear to come from reputable greeting card companies like Hallmark.com or BlueMountain.com.

The topics are wide ranging and here’s an example of what I received just this morning.

The USA is really a nation made up of people from every other country in the world so you all should take the day off too. Thank you Great Britain for a great start and y’all have a great week!
