Gavin -

I believe that the "North American Colonies" are celebrating something that
they call "Thanksgiving Day" on Thursday. Seems that some pilgrims back in
the 1600's managed to make it through a winter and had good summer crops and
they and their Indian friends celebrated with a big feast. (Or did they get
Big Macs from the corner McDonalds.)

Happy Thanksgiving Day to all.

Cheerio, Old Chaps.

I'm a 1600's transplant from the British Isles, whose ancestors were on
"stand by" for the "Mayflower" but missed the cut and had to make a later
reservation.

Excuse my ignorance, but... what's the occasion? (No holidays here!)
