Happy Thanksgiving

........ to the southerners that follow , here.

The temperature is not bad , say , 40+ and going up. Grey though and miserable , looking , sun isn't showing yet.

Yesterday , NPR had a ' taste of the turkey ' day. Recipes and ideas from 3 noted chefs were featured. The emphasis quickly shifted to sweet potato , squash and pumpkin. Pies got mention , esp , pecan pies ( from the south ) and potato pie and pumpkin pie from the north.
Kale got mentioned , up and coming , you know. The big debate : salad or not on the TD table. Pros : light and a palate cleanser
Cons: its turkey day !!! salad on Fri , not TD.
I wanted to add rice for the table - w/ rice and gravy , a dream come true. We used to have chow mein for my brother. Yes , turkey and chow mein , what memories.

Methinks a haircut is in order. The cow licks are getting huge and the hat hair problem is back. Always sure signs that my hair is too long - actually what is left is too long.

No haircut.
To - day is the start of cyber Black Fri , thus , I went to amazon to find the bargains
1.   DVDs are big w/ 60 % off   'the Walking Dead ' , see the problem is that I thought they were fellow staff on Fridays at 3.

2.  the prices for stuff - 60 % off and the price was $290 - who pays that much regular for this stuff

3.   60 % off video games - I thought using the laptop was a video game

4.  Blu Tooth headsets - doesn' that mean you need a device that broadcasts blue tooth - see , big problem there

5. 60 % off a pod coffee maker .... all I can think of is a scene from 'the Coca Cola Kid ' starring Eric Roberts. A game warden / private security guy in the Ozzie Outback is making coffee. Hot water and coffee grinds over the campfire then swing the pot on a rope in big circles - pour and drink. And Greta Sacchi is naked in this one - whoa , momma

6.  Activity tracker - counts your steps etc. holey , what if you fail i.e. not enough steps !!!

7. the ' Dummie ' books are on sale. did you know that one of the Paris terrorists had a paperback " Terrorism for Dummies " ???
He got it on sale.

BTW - the highly touted Kaori Muraji may have tongue cancer.
The reports were based on emails sent to fans in general but the English was difficult to translate - you know Japanese into English
- the standard joke for instructions.
