See You Next Week
Gobble gobble.

Well, let's start with a picture. It's easy to forget that turkeys are actually pretty glorious to look at. The rippling colors, the interplay of brow…
See you turkeys soon…

Enjoy your break from the craziness.
And to the native Americans out there in the ether and on the land: Thank you for giving all of us the opportunity to share with you the bounty called America.
Peace and happiness to all.
I am thankful for this place and those who make it what it is. Enjoy your break y’all.
