June 14th Malawi Freedom Day

On June 14, 2007, while American's celebrated Flag day, Malawians were celebrating Freedom Day. On June 14, 1993, the people of Malawi voted overwhelmingly in favor of multi-party democracy. They continue to celebrate Freedom Day each year. Not to be confused with Independence Day which is on July 6th (the day they became independent from the UK).

Other news:

A full grown Cobra was found on the new property! Job Security killed it. He said the snake was standing straight up and was as big around as a man's arm. I guess they live in a certain kind of tree that we have there on the new property. Mrs. Gentry voted to knock down the tree, but so far she has been vetoed. There have also been many snakes found next door to the Gentry's house where the Jorgensons will soon keep house. They found a small black Mamba there yesterday. Winter is setting in and the snakes are coming in closer to where the people are to seek shelter. Today Mrs. Gentry is going out to the Good Samaritan property to begin the work on the room where I will be staying. I am hoping they get rid of all unwanted critters before I get there!
