The guests have all gone home, the leftovers packaged away, and even the dishes
are almost all cleaned, so our Thanksgiving festivities here at the BlueTower
are about wrapped up. The final head-count here turned out to be 21, covering
two species (there are a pair of dogs in there) and four generations, while
accounting for the numerous twists and turns in what has become quite the
extended extended family. By all accounts a fine old time was had by all, so
here's hoping that others' festivities went well as well.
Hey, look! Turkey sandwiches for lunch!

It's not allowed and people have been banned from panhandling out there.They're banning panhandlers these days? Nice.
My favourite panhandling-type story is from several years ago. I was at a pool hall with a friend of mine, and he was counting quarters from a pile of them he had on the table. This guy comes by and says "hey man, can I borrow a quarter?" and my friend says, without even looking up, "sorry, I don't have any change." That other guy had no idea what to say and kind of stumbled away.
If you stayed at the Holiday Inn Express right there you probably noticed the police station next door.It's no accident that there's a police station right there either.
