I know it’s a bad pic, but yesterday I saw several workers leaving the (under construction) Hilton Hotel job site with turkeys!

Today is Thanksgiving and I can only assume the union, or contractor, gifted these guys with a take-home bird for the holiday.

We’re cooking a little chicken tonight to celebrate. It’s very quiet around here, most businesses are closed, there’s no mail delivery, etc. Thanksgiving appears to be the biggest holiday of the year here - moreso than Christmas. Workers get an extended holiday. With the weekend it works out to five days which is pretty sweet.

On another note, I’m pleased to have all my Christmas shopping (and wrapping) complete since, apparently, tomorrow is the biggest shopping day of the year. Like Boxing Day in Canada. A few years ago when the Wal-Mart mass-trampling happened - that was the day after Thanksgiving.
