    Default Merry Thanksgiving!

    Happy Consumer Season! Hurry up and be a glutton with your feast so that you can get to the early opening Black Friday Sales!

    After all, that's the meaning of the season. It's the patriotic thing to do...

    The tv set is indeed brimming with beggars who are apparently all trying to help us take advantage of them.

    I'm a citizen, not a consumer. I don't shop at Walmart and never will (the XYL won't let me!). Tizz better to give than receive, but listening to the press you'd never know it. On Black Friday I'll shop the Mom and Pop stores. THEY are what made this country great.

    Happy Holidays!!

    Happy Thanksgiving....

    "America's quiet warriors are the legion of ham radio operators, 700,000 of them, who are always at ready for backup duty in emergencies – amateur, unpaid, uncelebrated, civilian radio operators, during and after floods and fires and tornadoes. After the 9/11 attacks, hams were indispensable in reuniting friends and families. Most recently it was they who expedited the search for debris after the Columbia Explosion , and right now, at this moment, they are involved in homeland security to a greater degree than you would want me to make public."

    Oh, I will feast. I enjoy the meal tomorrow more than any other one I get.

    And since it's my first day off since Labor Day, I'll make sure to work around the house. Then, maybe, if I'm good, I'll get to work on putting up another dipole.

    I'll let the stampeding fools rule the stores. No thanks.

    American Consumerism ...It's like some kind of crack addiction isn't it?

    No thanks I have better plans.

    A nice breakfast for my roommate and I

    She is sent off to spend the weekend with our friends in the East county.

    I spend a wonderful day with my friends on The Zed.

    Cook a nice Thanksgiving supper...

    Give the Dogs some table scrapps...

    Go to bed early and get up bright and early tomorrow morning and it's just another day.

    And If I don't catch you on the radio Patrick Enjoy the day as you see fit and don't let the commericalism get in the way of a wonderful day.
