A year ago, I issued my first ever Happy Canada Day post https://steemit.com/blog/@zekepickleman/wishing-you-a-happy-canada-day-no-matter-where-you-are It made a thrilling $1.55 and I had comments from 
Canada Day https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canada_Day is generally seen as a long weekend to kick off the summer and celebrate Canada's "birthday." Not really a birthday but on this day back in 1867, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia joined Canada and we became an independent country (though still withing the British Empire.) Lots of fireworks and travelling to see friends and family. Think of it as the Canadian Independence Day as we get a 4-day jump on our American friends.
For me, it was a little travel locally to pool parties and bonfires to celebrate friendship. Today, maybe some out-door work and time in the garden to get back to life. After I get my post in for the day, do some steem housekeeping, and interact with my friends on the blockchain.
Shade and The Ramble and #PYPT and #theinnerblocks - I was reminded of my recent intro to the neat groups mentioned there when I logged into steem-engine and saw my Shade Token had jumped in number.

@steemitbloggers - Happy Happy to all of you around the world. We chat like we are neighbours but all probably even spell neighbours differently. I hope you are happy and safe where you are. Same goes to all other folks on the blockchain no matter where you are.
That is about it from your resident STEEM Hoser. Time to enjoy the end of my long weekend and the outdoors.
