Happy Thanksgiving to our American friends!

Red onion

One of the great weirdnesses of living here in the UK is being reminded of how completely American a holiday Thanksgiving is, effectively ignored on the rest of the planet. (Much like American Football, to which it is quite closely connected!)

‘Twere it not for various on-line reminders and communications from (American) friends and family, one could easily miss the whole thing. I, to be honest, only realized quite late in the day that Thanksgiving was today – I had been thinking it was next week.

But it’s today, so happy Thanksgiving! Now go read Athena’s cool Thanksgiving poem and enjoy your feasts!

The night blooms with fire

All the Guy Fawkes fireworks around here got me digging back into some old photos that I’d never done anything with from the 4th of July in Monticello, Wisconsin. Sub-Evil and I were in Wisconsin for an annual family gathering, and we went out to the fireworks with my dad, my sister, and her friend Neil. Good fun was had by all, and too many photos were taken by me!
