Happy Kim Day to everyone!  Do something fun to celebrate Kim Day!


On a more somber note, it is also the D-Day anniversary.

First of all, happy Kim Day. Not sure what exactly that is but I wish you a happy one in any case.

Now to the more somber note. I would begin by saying that, while I am fully aware of just how lucky I am to live in this great country of Canada, I have never been what you might call a big flag waver. And then there is today. Having had the good fortune to have traveled through Europe, including France a number of times, and having been at the Vimy Memorial one time, I did discover a strong sense of patriotism, especially when I not only saw that monument, but also when I walked along local streets and saw Canadian flags displayed at local peoples houses, and nowhere near D-Day. France has not forgotten what happened on Juneau Beach, and the sacrifices Les Canadiennes made there.
