Thanksgiving

I thank whatever gods there may be, and also Brad Raffensperger, a number of judges, and some other officials, that the Trumpublican attempt to steal the election has failed.

I am also thankful that this day off is a fine, warm day; I went for a walk with my shirtsleeves rolled up, I enjoyed the fresh air and exercise, and synthesized a few molecules of vitamin D, even though the sun is too low in the sky this time of year to provide much ultraviolet.

I am thankful that I have a home, food, and a well-paid job, and I will try to do what I can for those who are less fortunate.

Many thinkers and inventors have helped create all that we have today; let us remember such inductees of the National Inventors’ Hall of Fame as Joseph Lee and Norbert Rillieux.

I’m planning a late dinner of traditional chickpea tagine. No birds, so far as I am aware, have been brought up in cruel and unnatural conditions and then killed to make this dinner possible, but I do plan to enjoy some cranberry-orange relish.
