Good evening, Pro....getting your act together to start your travels? Will you have to go through snow to get to your sister’s house?

Good evening, sport....the Nobel Peace Prize has been a joke for years and years and years.

Lots of hair splitting to say she wasn’t eligible, but algore? NO WAY!!!!!!

Ready for Thanksgiving?

She put her own life at risk every day, knowing full well the consequences.

Are you dining with friends for Thanksgiving? Cooking?

We're staying home - it's just us this year.

the members of my command while they still have the means to resist."

I'll be alone, as usual. I'll throw some supermarket turkey into some turkey gravy, have a salad and drink a bottle of white. I'll fake it this year.

But I'll be writing up my new Christmas season posts. I have a lot I'd like to do on Christmas Eve and Christmas day beside my annual period instrument "Messiah."

In the movie, there is a wonderful scene where Irena explains to a Nazi major that the microbes that infect Jews can also infect Aryans. Would the major like to see his troop strength reduced by disease? The look on the Nazi officer's face is priceless. She gets permission to go into the ghetto and do her work as a nurse.

Nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize for her work in rescuing thousands of Polish Jews from the Nazis.

Lost out to Al Gore, who made a slide show on global warming.

Mark Twain said there were two important days in our lives, the day of our birth and the day we find out why.

Wise man, that Mark Twain.

Thanks, mountainlion, for the great quote....fits quite well.

Ready for Thanksgiving?

We're suppose to get snow here in Yakima on Tuesday and Tuesday night but the mountain passes look clear on both travel days.

I'm not worried, I have an all-wheel drive SUV and chains if it gets real bad.
