Happy Thanksgiving

by Bryan

TurkeyMy view of Thanksgiving was skewed by my Father’s attitude. Having grown up on a poultry farm, he saw the holiday as the culmination of weeks of work “processing” dozens of turkeys to be frozen and readying a few dozen more for fresh delivery. We generally ate ham when he was alive.

Having been on my Grandfather’s farm at this time of year I can understand my Dad’s attitude: our meal was subject to interruption by people picking up a fresh turkey at the last minute. A sale is a sale when you are business for yourself.

Thanks to Duncan for locating the WKRP Turkey Drop. Watching it was long a tradition at our house.

Enjoy your meal and try to forget about the world’s problems for a day – they’ll still be there on Friday.

Happy T-day, Bryan, to you and your Mother and any other loved ones close by. Try not to be mistaken for an #Occupier (#Occupant?) on your way to those Black Friday sales!

I grew up with a Detroit Lions Football fan. (Michigan born parents…) At least for my dad, the Lions are not really “turkeys’ this year.

Happy Turkey Day to one and all.

Remember, every time a turkey dies the aggregate IQ of the animal kingdom rises and the level of evil falls. There is a lot of truth in saying the Republican candidates for President are a bunch of turkeys.

Earthworms with understand quantum mechanics before turkeys figure out the laws of motion.
