Whew, it’s been a hectic summer — hence the irregular pace of posts recently to the Natural Patriot.  This is just a note to alert my legions of eager readers that the NP will be off the air (to use the now hopelessly archaic terminology) for the next two weeks, apart from a few posts in the hopper that will drip out in the coming week or so.  We will be enjoying family vacation in Annecy, France (see idyllic photo).  Sorry, I don’t mean to rub it in.

Back to reality on 29 July (at which point I will begin dealing with the mountain of comment spam that will undoubtedly have accumulated over that time period — how about a law extending capital punishment to spammers?). 

So don’t cancel your subscription! As the Guvernator said in a previous lifetime, “I’ll be back.” In the meantime, carry on and chin up.
