11/24/11 HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

THANKSGIVING DAY SUNRISE
Thursday, 9:00 AM.  41 degrees, wind W, very light.  The sky is mostly blue and the snow is melting rapidly.  The barometer predicts precipitation.
    I am taking the day off from deer hunting to help Joan with the turkey and maybe watch some football.  It would seem to be the perfect day for deer to be moving but I am taking the day off to rest up.  I haven’t seen any deer hanging in the neighborhood, and neighbor Eric who hunts way into the outback says he has seen just one doe in the past five days.  Lots of conjecture as to lack of deer, from the weather to all the predators and continual past doe seasons.  I won’t get into that now
    This is my favorite holiday, and it is a secular holiday that, when one considers it, is probably more sacred to most Americans than all our over the top, commercialized religious holidays. The economy is down, and the country has a lot of seemingly intractable problems, but as long as we have family and our individual freedom we can celebrate Thanksgiving in its true, traditional fashion.
Happy Thanksgiving!
