Happy thanksgiving.

Hope ya'll enjoy it. I'm off to dinner and a birthday party for my Mom who's 90 tomorrow, too.

That's not a solar flare, that's your birthday cake... ;)

Since the international date line was put in the wrong ocean, I shall enjoy a good bowl of borsht on the day before the great feast of the native bird. Why? You may ask. Because today which we recognize as Wednesday would already be Thanksgiving Thursday! So if we got settled in the fifteenth century by Russians on the west coast (can you imagine Russian surfer music?) we might be celebrating Thanksgiving with a good hearty bowl of beet stew along with pieces of bread and slices of our beloved native bird (gobble, gobble) and maybe some of our native beef (the buffalo).

And when you partake of the borsht you must contemplate certain mysteries of the universe such as some of my DNA having come from one direction happens to be exactly one day behind the rest having come from another direction. What can this mean? Maybe a third of the US is this way and then there's that nation to the south. A few of them come to think about it.

And if the international date line was supposed to have been put in the Atlantic Ocean rather than the Pacific as fore-ordained by God (notice the continental shelf joins America to Asia and ends between Europe and America) can it be that all of our fervently religious people are way off going to church on what is really Monday thinking that it was Sunday? And then we have Jews here honoring Christians doing their worship a day late and then (GASP!) Moslems being the ones that are honoring the Sabbath here in the American hemisphere.

And how is it that our native bird got named after some far away country anyway?

Really? Way cool, my birthday is today too!! Tell her Happy Birthday from a fellow 22nder. For me I always know my age because it is one less than Kennedy's assassination. Look for a boatload of Kennedy next year when it is the 50th.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!!

Happy Birthday to you and Happy Thanksgiving to everybody.

1963 JFK was the first president to pardon a turkey which has become an annual tradition. Yesterday two birds were given such an honor to live the rest of their lives at Mt Vernon, which should only be a couple years, they don't live that long.
