Happy Independence Day, and a thank you to our early subscribers

To all of our American Readers: Happy Independence Day!
We’d like to wish you and your family an amazing holiday! Here are some tips to stay safe today:
🧑🍳 Beware of BBQ scams: If someone offers you a "too-good-to-be-true" deal on a backyard BBQ grill, it's probably a red flag
☀️ Don't mistake the grill for a tanning bed: No matter how sunny it is, grilling yourself is not the way to get a summer tan.
🧨 Be cautious of online recipes: specifically anything promising "the best fireworks" you can make at home... Your oven is not a rocket launch pad
🐶 Pet safety: If your pet suddenly starts speaking in English with a British accent, it’s not because they’re celebrating independence; they’re probably just scared of the fireworks
Yes, these are all jokes - but it’s because we’re in an AWESOME mood - we are thrilled to announce that just 48 hours after the launch of Carol’s First Computer Newsletter, we’ve already surpassed 20 subscribers! We couldn’t be happier with the excitement and support we’ve received from everyone. We have so much in store, and look forward to your continued engagement.
Sincerely,
- Greg & Mason
