Last British soldiers evacuate the United States
On this day in history, November 25, 1783, the last British soldiers evacuate the United States. The signing of the Treaty of Paris ended hostilities between the United States and Great Britain on September 3, 1783. Sir Guy Carleton, commander of British forces in North America at the time, received orders in August to begin planning the evacuation of all remaining British troops from the United States.
The evacuation plans dragged on because of large numbers of Loyalists descending on New York in a panic to flee the country. Nearly 30,000 Loyalists and escaped slaves left with the British, most ending up in Quebec or Nova Scotia.
General Carleton finally announced the last of the troops would be leaving at noon on November 25th. George Washington waited outside the city until the British left and their flag was removed from a pole at the Battery at the southern end of Manhattan (A battery is a military fortification with guns or cannons). Wiley British soldiers had hoisted their Union Flag on a greased pole on their way out of the city.
Several attempts were made to get the flag down, but were unsuccessful due to the grease. Eventually, American soldier John Van Arsdale was able to climb the pole by nailing pieces of wood to the pole and climbing up on them. He tore the British flag down and replaced it with the American Flag. Shortly after, a triumphant General George Washington entered the city and marched down Broadway to the Battery.
For a hundred years after, Evacuation Day was celebrated around the United States, but especially in New York City. Evacuation Day was New York City’s biggest celebration of the year for a century and the evacuation was commemorated with a game of boys competing to take down a Union Flag from a greased flagpole in Battery Park. A descendant of John Van Arsdale would then climb the pole and put up a US Flag.
Once the Civil War came and Abraham Lincoln announced the annual Thanksgiving Day, Evacuation Day celebrations around the country tended to be absorbed by Thanksgiving Day celebrations. Evacuation Day was eventually lost because the date of November 25 was so close to the Thanksgiving date of the last Thursday of the month. The annual celebrations continued in New York, however, until World War I, at which time people seemed to lose their animosity toward Britain after its allied cooperation with the United States during the war.

Has anybody noticed that Hamas has returned people from other Countries but, so far, has not returned one American Hostage? There is only one reason for that, NO RESPECT FOR OUR COUNTRY OR OUR LEADERSHIP. This is a very sad and dark period of America!

Beautiful!!
Went to kingsport today to look at Lexuses (Lexi?). Then stopped at Aldi’s to get another turkey. We still have tons of side dishes but not much turkey to go with it. And hubby wanted to experiment with a new way to cook turkey. I wouldn’t let him do it on Thanksgiving because we had people coming over.
Beautiful. Are those pink, red, yellow flowers Pansies?
Was that supposed to be a Gmail link?
I had no idea, IM. This so-called green energy is anything but.
Hi Spunky, how are you doing??
Catalytic converter theft - most common vehicles
https://www.caranddriver.com/features/g40288617/cars-truck-catalytic-converter-theft/
From what I understand Kurt Sr owned the car and he died in August 2022. He loved that car and drove it every where.
Kurt Jr and his wife Monica were driving it. It will be almost impossible to figure out if it was the stuck pedal or heart attack. The car and their bodies and in pieces all over the ground. It was a horrible, horrible accident.
Once it was confirmed who it was I was horrified. That family is wonderful. I dug in to every article and studied every pic and video. Now that I know the exact route they were on it made it easier to understand why they went airborne.
I haven’t left my house since it happened but tomorrow I have to go to the hardware store to see what’s going on and if there is going to be a celebration of life.
Kurt Sr. had big plans for the Grand Island store. He and his grand daughter confided in me and told me. I am very very well known here on my Island. My truck caught fire right in front of the store, $33,000 in damages. He came and stood right beside me with Mia both concerned about me, not the store. Kurt told me not to worry he had insurance to cover everything. That’s the type of people they were.
Amen, so few politicians are willing to speak the truth
Good night every one!

Wind generator blades are huge.
Some are longer than a football field - up to 350 feet long.
A single blade can cost between $2 million to $4 million dollars to manufacture.
New blades are manufactured and transported in one piece.
Just the transportation costs for a new wind generator can be between $30,000 and $100,000 determined by distance and blade size.
Old blades don't have to be transported in one piece so they are cut up at the site of the wind generator and trucked to landfills on smaller, lest costly vehicles.
