    Hello NW!

    Happy Thanksgiving TODVille!

    Good afternoon, TOD. Back from my trip to the grocery store. Picked up my year’s supply of paper towels; and a few of their BF grocery specials — only the things I normally use, purchased at their “loss leader” prices. Was disappointed that they didn’t have tenderloins on sale this year, I wanted several for my party… Time to rethink the menu… Ran into a couple of cousins at the store; pleasant surprise as right before going shopping I commented on her FB post that I hoped to see her soon — meaning at here family’s Saturday before Christmas brunch.

    Had a wonderful time yesterday at another cousin’s dinner. All of he children, grands, and g-grands were there except one (was his in-laws turn…). Great discussions on family history/genealogy; politics; and economics. I had hoped to go to NY today; friends of my former D-i-L#1 invited my Mom and I to join them for the family Thanksgiving Friday dinner. Would have been a chance to spend time with the grandson. Mine is willing — body said “HELL NO.” As I have tickets for the Soulful Symphony concert in Baltimore tomorrow night, I’m listening to my body…

    Off to do some chores…

          It’s exceptionally cool, Jacqueline - no R&D issues, all proven ‘in the field,’ and already being deployed in settings that prove it scales and the economics are hugely compelling. Can’t wait to share tons of details with all of you!!!

          Hope your son continues to keep his spirits and will soon be fully recovered.

      He said the video of Laquan McDonald being shot 16 times by a police officer in Chicago helped open his eyes to the systemic problems of racial discrimination in America and the need to look at the issues objectively.

      Since the shooter is alive I am concluding he is white.
      Does anyone know if this has been confirmed?

      What a freaking nightmare the USA is becoming.
      Hysteria about ISIS Ebola refugees Muslims immigrants—-all hyped up to scare us.

      The biggest danger in this country now seems to be coming from white males. Not just now, come to think about it. Angry entitled white males are the danger.

      Also, the police spokesperson said the motive was not known and declined to speculate on it. If the shooter was black or Muslim, the motive would have been ‘clear’!

      Yes, desertflower—I remember it well.
      Also, Marc Pocan from the Southern Poverty Law Center has been sounding the alarm for year.

      For me, the guy lying on his stomach pointing his rifle at Federal officers during the Cliven Bundy ranch standoff, was pretty graphic proof that white guys with guns get to do whatever they want without consequences.
      As far as i know, there was no punishment for that outrageous behavior and Cliven Bundy continues to graze his cattle on Federal Lands for free.
