91 year difference

 July 1, 1867. July 4, 1776. A difference of 91 years. The last province joined Confederation in 1949. The last states joined the Union in 1959. Canada was born later but fully formed earlier. Just a few factoids on this July 4th. Reading a grotesque romp called "Quackery". All kinds of fun stuff like Radithor, bloodletting, and of course; the labotomy. Among other things.

 Did you know that Spanish fly, besides being a legendary aid for sexytime, was also used to raise blisters on the skin? Blisters supposedly drew out the infection. All kinds of lovely stomach-twisting shenanigans. I had to take a break from reading about antimony because the emetophobe in me started shrieking.

 Halfway through this fantastic account of some very dangerous stuff that we thought could help. Oh, and heroin was once used to stop morphine addiction. Ya learn summat new every day, don't you? Relaxing and test-driving vehicles. Buy or lease? So much to consider. So that's what's going on with me. Hope my few but fabulous are having a good day.

BYE.

2 days left for me

 The heat's been brutal in Europe but it's been beautiful here. I've been reading and pondering. The kids have one day left before the summer vacation. I have plans for this weekend. Bastard squirrels keep partying on my balcony and leaving their gifts of 💩 for me to be disgusted o'er. Bastards.

 Rainy weekend in the forecast? I guess I'll break out the bleach and soak the 💩 away next week when the weather's nicer. Got plans to test drive a couple of vehicles at some point next week as well. Canada Day is supposed to be stupidly hot. Well, I guess the summer temps had to show up some time. Maybe the cooler weather will return at some point.

 All is well with me and with my fam. I hope ye few and fab are doing well. To thems in Europe, I hope you are keeping cool.

BYE.
