Expat Ahoy!

I find my Canadian patriotism one day a year, as in, today, July 1st. Yup, it's Canada Day, Dominion Day, whatever you want to call it day, but I bid all of you north of the 49th a very happy one, and all fellow expats a note that flags can actually be hung relatively well, albeit vertically, from two plant hooks previously attached into the roof eaves.

Yes, I hang the Maple Leaf on July 1st, and let me assure you, it confuses the hell out of the neighbors what with the proximity to July 4th. Grand fun! Maybe I should create a flag for dual citizens so we only have to raise one between July 1st and 5th. That still leaves the issue of good beer, though....
