Howdy y'all.
So, this Wednesday was the 4th of July. Did anyone celebrate? I know I didn't.
So, for those who don't know, on the 4th of July 1776, the Founding Fathers (Ben Franklin, George Washington, John Adams, and a bunch of other important dudes in funny wigs) signed the Declaration of Independence, which was this document where they basically said "eff you" to the English monarchy and set up this new country blah blah blah. Anyways, people Up Here celebrate Independence Day by blowing stuff up and barbecuing stuff. I really don't give a buck. But I happened to be visiting relatives in lovely New York. I spent a day in the city and then drove out to the country. (There's more of it than you think. And it's very different form NYC. ) Anyways, we stayed in the big house on a hill in the country side and all but ignored the holiday. (We did light some sparklers, because we could.)
The downside of where we were staying is that there was NO INTERNET and NO CELLPHONE RECEPTION. (Translation: Cellphone= Mobile phone.)
Anyways, I'm back home and there is plenty of internet here. So, main point, when is 'Internet Day?' Because seriously, the Internet is more free than most countries. And it's the government that's trying to censor it, etc., There's a whole sack of dung involved in that, whatever.
Which is luckily a mostly irrelevant sack of dung at the moment, because the EU shot down ACTA recently. WOO!
Girls, I miss all of y'all a lot. People keep complimenting my friendship bracelets. I still have all of them. I'm going to make you guys some from Up Here and then send them. I love you.
Best Wishes
