Happy Thanksgiving!

[TGO David]

This week many of us are bound to be traveling for the holiday and spending time with family and friends. I wanted to go ahead and wish everyone here a very [b]Happy Thanksgiving[/b] and safe travels! For those of you who are currently off of American soil, serving our country, please be safe and enjoy the holiday as best you can knowing that we're thinking of you back here in the States.

I realize that for the majority of us here on TGO, the recent election did not go exactly as we had hoped it would and we are gravely concerned about the future of our nation. There are some here who are without a job, and we likely all know someone who has either lost their employment or otherwise taken a hit because of the economy. Several of us this year have lost loved ones or are presently watching someone close to us writing what may be the final pages of their life's story.

But despite all of those bad things, I take comfort in knowing that we have much still to be thankful for. If for no other reason than simply the fact that we still live as free men and women in what Alexis de Tocqueville referred to as this Great Experiment.

Enjoy the week ahead!

thanks and the same to you David.

in the spirit of tradition at this time of year, let me be the first to say that I am thankful for the virtual home away from home that many of us call TGO
we can show and tell....we can sell and spend....and we can rant and rave ((and get put in check when we get out of line!!)) but one thing is for sure, this is a great place to hang out...
