I don't have a lot of Thanksgiving traditions. It's basically just turkey, football, and watching Home for the Holidays, which somehow came out 30 years ago.

Just float.

Ah yes, nothing like former President Biden fulfilling the Trump-Taliban Deal (Doha Agreement) and being blamed by someone like Mitch McConnell of all people for "abandoning" Afghanistan.

As we approach the holidays and you make those long road trips across the country - don't forget to do The Rest Area Waltz.

Here's Steven Fromholz with more on that:

This situation reminds me of the film Contact, in that, symbolically, we'll only be shown a few seconds of static after Trump signs this bill - but there's 18 hours we won't be shown, and a bunch of James Woods-type motherfuckers will be the ones who buried it.

Started reading this beauty that came in the mail yesterday. Glad to finally get my hands on one. Lots of legendary tales, Fromholz, Gonzos, Jerry Jeff, etc. And signed! Thanks, Bob!

RIP to Kenny Easley, The Enforcer, my Easley brother from another mother. One of the greats.

Happy birthday, Gordon Lightfoot. Here's one from Steven Fromholz, a great fan of Gordon's, covering one of his many tunes, as Steven often did at his shows.

Monday morning coffee break with one of my cherished hobbies. I'm a collector of the works of Madison Cawein. Signed by the poet himself, this is one of 350 copies from 1894. Intimations of the Beautiful.

Great weekend in Chicago. As a @depauluniversity.bsky.social alum, it's always nice stopping back in town. Watched Northwestern/Michigan in Wrigley; insane dinner at Sushi by Scratch; watched Da Bears win on Sunday from Backyard BBQ in Wilmette. Even got my Chicago Dog & Maxwell Street Polish fixes.

Off to Chicago for some football this weekend. Gonna watch Northwestern play Michigan - in Wrigley.

Wishing a pleasant Veterans Day to all my fellow grunts, squids, crayon eaters, armchair jockeys, & coasties.

I count trump force imposter trekkies in with the armchair jockeys.

There are many ways to serve the public trust; thanks to all of you for finding one.
