Happy Independence Day!

A happy one indeed, for me, because...

I learned from RICHARD K. LLOYD that....that...

I WON THE U.K. NATIONAL LOTTERY!
(they even sent me two emails about it, so I know it's true!)

O frabjous day! Calloo, callay, I chortle in my joy!!

So, rejoice with me, dear friends, and sometime readers, for I, your humble Aardvark, will now be Truly Independent. I can devote my full time to enlightening and entertaining you with my madcap antics.

And yes, I DID in fact fall off the turnip truck yesterday.
