    Ah well, they can share in just a bit of the experience of Yemeni children.

    Fog and rain here, many people.
    May I share the good news about online shopping with you?

We'd get up, eat breakfast, make some coffee, then go to the first Casino about 30 miles away. We'd limit ourselves to 20 bucks at each Casino. One of us would lose some, one of us would win some, then we went to the next Casino. They were like 10-20 miles apart. A great drive along the Gulf Coast (we'd drive by Jefferson Davis House {a Museum} and I'd say "We need to visit that place". And my wife would say "Yeah". But ... we never did) right there where the water meets the sand. We would probably hit about 10 Casinos in all. She liked the slot machines, I liked Roulette and Craps. It was a pleasant drive and we always knew the NEXT Casino is where we were going to hit it big. Our first Outing it was really cold with a slight freezing rain that looked like snow. It was surreal standing in front of a Casino, gazing at the Gulf and thinking "Is it fucking snowing?". On the way home, I asked my wife about what she thought about going to the Casinos on Christmas ... she said "This is the best".

    So, even after she died, I still kept going to the Casinos on Christmas. Now ... maybe Thanksgiving too?

    It happened just before dawn on May 26, 1637 in Mystic, Connecticut: English colonists, for the first time, unleashed total war designed to obliterate an entire Indian tribe in the New World. Hundreds of men, women and children of the Pequot tribe were burned to death on a day that changed forever the relationship between those who had recently arrived and those who had lived here for countless generations.

    Well talk about how big of a deer we killed (or didn’t kill) this season, what kind of gun we’d like to buy for our kids or how much ammo we’d like for Christmas...football...normal family stuff.

    Horses. Dogs. Kids. Politics. Football. Hockey. Music. Guns. Beer. Freedom.
    Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
    - -- Aristotle

    Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
    - -- The Buddha

    It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

    I know we disagree on many things; but I'm sorry your wife died, no matter how long ago it was.
    I'm not sure how I'm going to take, when my wife finally leaves this earthly plane.

    Or skipped the pressurized gift-giving altogether. Do a second Thanksgiving. Buying cheap shit stuff at Walmart that someone probably didn't need or want in the first place. And going into debt for it for months. The pressure of having to be here or there. Christmas parties with people you didn't like to be around during the work week. All the commercial bullshit. Not to mention the unending awful, repetitive music

    Give me a Thanksgiving where I can cook for my family and the only pressure is who will do the dishes the next day.
