Its almost time to start the Thanksgiving Holiday.

Who stays here? Who cooks? Who goes out?

Who travels?

Thanksgiving is a lot of work.

Scorcher!!!!!

The Cavalry joins the parade

It is still sweltering and the Sesquicentennial is going full blast. Mr. Howler had to go up to Prince William Hospital and he said this evening there was a fleet of ambulances bringing in the war wounded…from the heat. Many of the friends are in period dress. I asked him if Robert E. Lee was up there and he said, no, he wasn’t at first Manassas. Geez! So much for my attempt at humor.

JEB, Jackson and Mosby are all asleep still and enjoying the AC.

Its time to slap up another open thread. Several people had a couple of remarks up. I will leave the pin in until around noon in case people want to cut and past remarks to the new post.

Every time I turn on the TV I heard about terror alerts in various countries. What is causing this? (I know, terrorists.) Is all the problem in Europe or is it here too? Who knows what or who thinks what?

The Unknowns behind the Terror Alerts:

One more week left in September. A new open thread is here. There is plenty to talk about. By now everyone has seen 9500 Liberty or at least had the opportunity to see it. I am watching “Waiting for Superman,” a documentary about America’s education system. Apparently it looks at the worst rather than the best. Davis Guggenheim of ‘An Inconvenient Truth’ is the filmmaker.

I am not sure I am buying in to all this. Mr. Howler was listening about all the crappy teachers. He threw in one remark and left the room: what about all the crappy students? The documentary opened Friday. I am sure we will hear a great deal more in the upcoming weeks.

Open Thread Week of September 20

Happy Fall. Open thread for the week. I am going to ask the contributors to not get in to calling each other names. This is my favorite season.

The next couple of days will not be fall-like. Heat wave. I thought we were through with that heat crap.

New Open Thread for the Week Monday, Sept. 13

Open threads get unpinned from the the first position when they reach 100 comments (or thereabouts). Also, I have set wordpress to reset at 50 comments so a thread doesn’t get too unwieldy.

The stock market has been fun today. I took some time to buy a few more winners and to shed some more of a loser. September is often the cruelest month and I don’t just mean in 2008. Historically, September usually stinks. Perhaps it is because all the fat cats come back in from the Hamptons and decide to clean house. Or maybe the end of the govt’s fiscal year is in sight. At any rate, not many of us have found our fortunes in September.

Does anyone have anything wise and profound to say about the market(s)?

There is already howling over no convenient open thread. I spoil some people.
