Honey's canning home-made sauerkraut, the leaves blow like snow going nearly horizontal...the kitties are hiding in the wood-shop, and the dogs are bored. Honey's got a bottle of good hooch and coffee and whipped cream... The cop-o-matic radio tells of drug busts and crazy people... I remember nicer Thanksgivings. Incidentally it is said that the American Puritans - old testament types but shaky with Hebrew calendars and arithmetic - made the attempt to "do" Sukkot, the Jewish harvest celebration, and they screw'd it up, and it is said that the rather abused their Native American "friends", ahem... Somewhat a moral blemish on them, it is said. Strange how History gets formed and set...and sometimes comes apart again. I mean, they canceled Robert E. Lee, why not Thanksgiving? ... crazy times!
