Here in the Philippines, the effect of gas prices is a boom in the sale of scooters, overloading in the MetroRail, and a mini-boom in condominium sales & rentals for pied-a-terre near to workplaces.

We’re having a bbq here w/my brother and sister and their families. Should be fun. My husband just got back from a conference in France, and he was disappointed at the expensive exchange rate.

We still do our normal travel inside the US, but won’t be coming to Italy again anytime soon – because of the exchange rate. Too bad, because I love visiting Italy!

I take off whenever the bank is closed, but I don’t celebrate any holidays, so for me, 4th of July is just the day I watch the Twilight Zone for 12 solid hours while catching up on sleep with naps during episodes I’ve already seen. :)

We never leave for holidays that historically involve things blowing up or people getting drunk. July 4th is the rowdiest holiday of the year, and we are probably going to a friend’s house for a bbq – no fireworks.

I just take a moment at some point during the day to try and really understand what it would be like to be owned by England and still try to claim to be a free country. Then I remember, that’s what Canada is. And I appreciate July 4th that much more ;-)
