CELEBRATING TWO NATIONAL HOLIDAYS

Canadians celebrated our national holiday, Canada Day, just a few days ago. Today, it's the Americans turn to celebrate "Independence Day." So near -- yet so different -- those days.

On my "Bears Noting" blog, I decided to reflect a bit on the differences, our different national philosophies, and, particularly, our differences in health care. Both of those differences are quite significant.


Happy reading. And joyous celebrating!

Hallo Rob-Bear; I have just read your comment on Pondside's sad last post and I like what you said. I also very much like your profile. Neither US nor Canadian holidays mean anything to me, so I have nothing to say about your current post but I will come back to you and see what else you have to say. Whatever holiday you celebrate: have a good one!

4th of July isn't much of anything in Australia - but it is the day that my hubby and I first went out sixteen years ago. Hmmm, I'm not quite sure if 'Independence Day' is the right title at all!

Friko: Thanks so much for dropping by. Please come again when you can. I don't post every day. "Lighter" stuff appears here, more "thoughtful" material appears on "Bears Noting."

Wendy: I think you're talking about "Inter-dependance Day." But, the Bear has been known to get things wrong. Frequently.
BTW, got from your place to a very friendly, firey Dragon blog -- someone as dragonesque as you, perhaps.
