It’s that time of year again — Summer is in the air, baseball is well underway (I’m still pulling for the Cubs, even though it’s a rollercoaster as usual), and things are grilling on the, um, grill. Here in America, today is Independence Day, and we’re celebrating our independence from you EU folks — don’t take it personally, but we’d had it up to here with your taxation without representation, and we just wanted to spend some time on our own for a while. So while most of our bloggers are relaxing and lighting explosives on fire, posting might be a little slim around here today. Just in case you need something to read, you can always catch up on all the amazing Patch 3.2 details, dream about going to BlizzCon (or just ogle the costumes), or finish up your Midsummer Fire Festival achievements.

And if the last few years are any indication, there’ll be some celebrations in Azeroth this evening as well (yes, even on the EU servers), with fireworks aplenty (we’re pretty sure they do them on the hour every hour this evening — Booty Bay always has a nice display), and free beer and food outside the capital cities. So if you’re here in America with us, be sure to have a very happy and safe Fourth of July from all of us here at WoW.com!
