"I spend a great deal of time passing on what I learned to others who want and need it badly. I do it for four reasons:
1. Sense of duty.
2. It is a pleasure.
3. Because in doing so, I am paying my debt to the man who took time to pass it on to me.
4. Because every time I do it I take out a little more insurance for myself against a possible slip."

When I see that dog dressed as a turkey, I have to agree with the last line of Eric Idle's song.
And thanks for remembering JFK. It seems it is no longer a part of our collective consciousness - but it is of mine and yours too.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving dAAve!
I will be at HNT fo sure.
Thanks for being you everyday.

That dog clearly has a winning law suit
