Thanks … suckers!


Today is Thanksgiving Day in the US. I never fully understood this holiday, and I always guessed all the surviving Native Americans are sitting around on their reservations, drunk, hopeless and kicking themselves.
Today the Chinese government reversed its decision not to allow US warships to dock in Hong Kong after already kicking them out yesterday – on humanitarian grounds because it’s a US holiday.
Great. I suppose we’ll all be dead by Christmas.

This was from wandering around a small province called Xin Hui in South China. Starting to feel I’ve drawn myself enough for the time being. I think I need to get out more.
ps, thanks Baby, you're wonderful; and thank you all, my real and imaginary friends.

I had t-day in Tulsa OK this weekend seeing relatives. Some of the native american tribes were making a ton of money off the rest of the population going to their casinos :-) (full disclosure: I have a bit of the original american blood myself, we are a melting pot...).

I've never really understood t-day either although I suspect that it is probably like most holidays. Good food, seeing family and love ones, and laying around togeter being fulll and catching up on life. Religions never really made holidays - they tried to co-opt them, but we always take them back and turn them into our own.
