Morning AM! Quinn is not on live the next two days. No “Quinn” thread until next Monday. Did you know that the first Monday after Thanksgiving is a holiday in Pennsylvania? It’s the first day of deer hunting season. It’s a BIG DEAL in Pa! Well, at least it used to be! The schools in our county are always closed that day!

Good morning!

Fairly nice weather for xawhile. Hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Seems like there are so many deer you don’t have to go hunting. Just sit by a window!

True story....my dad knew a guy who owned a machine shop up in NW PA. He had an employee there who was a particularly devout Catholic. He was upset that the shop was open and that they all had to work on Good Friday.

He went to my dad's friend who owned the company and lodged this complaint. The owner told him that he could see his way clear to adding one holiday to the schedule, but he did not think it right to designate Good Friday based soley on his wishes. So he put it to an employee vote.

Long story short, they've been closed the first day of deer season ever since.
