Happy Thanksgiving - 2024

Locator: 44443ARCHIVES.

North Texas weather: after hitting a high of 83°F yesterday, it's going to be cold today, hitting a high of 53°F today and getting close to freezing overnight. 

No plans: for the blog today. Not sure what I'll do. But I am here. 

Note: the Dunkin' Donut parade did not replace Macy's Thanksgiving parade. The former is in Philadelphia televised on ABC; the latter is in NYC, televised on NBC. The former started about an hour earlier but by 8:30 a.m. local (?) time, both will be running simultaneously.

Term limits: speaking of term limits, network presenters need to have term limits. Assignments / appointments for life are simply a bit too much. Exhibit A: Al Roker. 

Memories: from inside my USAF flight jacket during the "Gulf War." It promised a monetary reward to anyone that assisted a downed aircrew member back to safety. Each "certificate" was numbered. Mine: 561 FS (flight surgeon).


Misplaced: somehow, in all our moves, the above got misplaced and "lost." I only recently found it when "de-cluttering" this past week.

Mr Lonely: this absolutely does not express my feelings today -- quite the opposite. But I happened to come across it last night -- perhaps one of the best videos ever. Interestingly, this has seen very, very few -- if any -- "professional” covers. A lot is packed into this song/video if one takes time to reflect this Thanksgiving season. " ... now, I'm a soldier, a lonely soldier, away from home, through no wish of my own."
