Harvest time

Do you know why the Thanksgiving holiday is celebrated in two different months in Canada and the U.S.?
Yup. You guessed it. The harvest. The harvest comes earlier in Canada. Almost a month earlier. Kinda weird when you think about the fact that Michigan and Minnesota and Wisconsin are much more frigid temperature-wise than say, British Columbia or Alberta even. Leave it to the pilgrims to figure it out. But they weren’t eating turkey or cornbread stuffing or sweet potato pie. They screwed over the natives for their own selfish whims. Oh white men, what saints. Nevertheless, I’m still thankful. Thanks to the planet and all her bountiful gifts. Thanks to you humans who stopped screwing over the natives for your own selfish whims.
I’m eatin’ turkey again this year. It was almost our national icon, you know. Our “bird.”
Thanks to Benjamin’s pals who axed THAT motion.
I prefer the bald eagle. At least it can fly and get the Hell outta here…
