Just an advance wish to all my American friends in hopes that you all have a happy and enjoyable 'Thanks Giving' holiday tomorrow. Stay safe whether travelling to see relatives or those serving overseas!

I am doubly blessed as we Canadians celebrate our Thanksgiving in October (on your Columbus Day) As my wife Cathy is American we get to 'gobble up' turkey twice! (sorry, couldn't resist)

I assume that as Americans you know you could be eating your 'National Bird' this Thursday? A 'Bald Eagle' with all the fixin's just doesn't sound so appetizing!

Benjamin Franklin had various ideas of what should symbolically represent the U.S. and the story varies as to whether he suggested the noble turkey or just thought the artists rendition of the eagle looked too much like a turkey. You guys decide!

No traditional Canadian Goose with "Goose Juice" huh? ('au jus' for you French Canadians)

Three posts in a row? "Someone tell me to put a cork in it!"

Cheers,

Yuri
