One would think that with the wars going on in the world and the bitter fighting between political parties, we have nothing to be thankful for. The opposite is true. If we woke up this morning, and all of our friends and relatives woke up, we have them to be thankful for. If we had a meal on the table, and a place to sleep we are grateful. The sunshine is also a gift, as is the lack of sleet and snow. We are thankful if we have gas in our cars and places to go. Most of all, I am grateful I can write this ode and wish my internet friends happy Thanksgiving Holiday.

Turkey joke: Female turkey to her partner,
“Is that your meat thermometer, or are you glad to see me?”

A happy one back at you, Joe. A few weeks ago, after a night of cold rain, I made a trip to Home Depot around 7 am. A block from my house, which is in a rural area, I came across a flock of Turkey. I counted 22 hens and two gobblers. I had to get out of my car and shoo them off the road. My wife, MoMo and I were pondering the gift of thankfulness a few days ago. Sure, we have some health problems at our age, but for the most part, we are healthy and mobile, and able to get up and get er done.
Keep on gettin’ things done.
