Anybody Else Besides Me Tired of Hearing "Black Friday?"
I have been watching TV and listening to the radio a bit these last two days.
Is there anyone else who is tired of hearing those two words "Black" and "Friday?"
Bring back the political ads. I can't take it any more.

Two Pilgrims
From the November 25, 2016, Bizarro comic strip.
Two Pilgrims are standing out by a field and one looks at the other, whose hat is in a pile on his head and says: "What made thee want to take the belt off thine hat?"
A Little Bit of Puritan Humor, I Guess. --RoadDog

Happy Thanksgiving
On this 386th anniversary of the "first" one back in Plymouth, New England, I'd like to wish everyone a happy.
Actually, there was a day of thanks in Virginia two years earlier, and who knows if the Lost Colony might ever had had one? The only difference was that the one by Jamestown , at the Bereley Plantation was a religious one, where a group of new-comers knealt in a prayer of thanks.
Also, this must be a great time for the three US towns named after the turkey. The most populous one is good ol' Turkey, Texas, with a bustling population of 429. I wonder if it has a high school. What would its name be: The Turkey Turkeys, The Turkey Gobblers, The Turkey, The Turkey National Birds?
By the way, when the search was on for a national bird, Benjamin Franklin suggested it be the turkey. Glad he didn't get his way on that one even if some of our politicians would appear....
