Thanksgiving (observed)

Air temperature 17 F, wind west about 5 mph, high thin clouds. Will pick up a rotisserie chicken and stuff this afternoon, with an eye to avoiding stores completely next week. The feast is an arbitrary and floating date, so we'll float it here.

Always check your tree

The lion and the unicorn

Were fighting for the crown

The lion beat the unicorn

All around the town.

Some gave them white bread,

And some gave them brown;

Some gave them plum cake

and drummed them out of town.

And when he had beat him out,

He beat him in again;

He beat him three times over,

His power to maintain.
