Happy Thanks­giv­ing and Black Friday

Happy Thanks­giv­ing to those of you in the USA. Hey, I’ll even say Happy Thanks­giv­ing to those of you who are from the USA, but liv­ing else­where. I’ve posted my tra­di­tional photo of a turkey for some very impor­tant reasons.

• Turkey is the tra­di­tional Thanks­giv­ing day meal.
• Every­one expects to see a turkey on Thanksgiving.
• I have a pic­ture of a turkey.
• This means I don’t have to process and post a dif­fer­ent photo today, which would be a waste because this week is tra­di­tion­ally very slow for Inter­net visitors.

There are times when I’ve thought about going out and tak­ing a new turkey pic­ture each year for Thanks­giv­ing. Then I remem­ber that there aren’t a lot of turkeys near where I live and most folks prob­a­bly don’t care that I use this pic­ture over each year. Now I could call it a tra­di­tion. Some peo­ple could even be dis­ap­pointed if they saw a dif­fer­ent turkey here today. That’s what I’m going with today.

Tra­di­tions are impor­tant things. That means you have to kick back with your fam­ily, have some turkey, watch a Char­lie Brown spe­cial or Planes, Trains and Auto­mo­biles. Relax today, as life will get excit­ing soon enough tomorrow.

Black Fri­day

I am not one of those peo­ple who lines up in front of Best Buy to save money on door buster spe­cials. There­fore, I stay out of their way and shop online. With that in mind, I’ve received word about a few spe­cials and I’ll pass them along, just in case some­thing grabs your attention.
