Hello all my fellow Canadians!
Happy Thanksgiving!! Hope your dinner was as good as mine! Beautiful day for it too, at least here in Ontario. I understand the Maritimes might be getting a bit of a pounding this weekend.

A Happy “What’s his Name’s Day” to those of us South of the Border, and a Wonderfull Thanksgiving to all you folks North of the Border today. My favorite true story about Columbus Day goes back to when I was first teaching Music in Chemung Elementary School around 1970. A combined first and second grade class came into my room and little Johnny, a first grader, sat in his seat and kept giggling… I asked him what was so funny, and he said “nothing”… giggle, giggle, giggle. This kept going on for while and I finally raised my voice and told him to cut it out! A little girl came up to me and said, “Mr. Howard, our teacher just told us that Columbus discovered America.” I said, So!? She then told me that Johnny’s an Indian! He could figure it out already… I haven’t been the same since!
Thanks Dave, a Happy Thanksgiving to you too.
A tad breezy here today with wind gusting to 60 mph! ‘Here’ is Winnipeg.

Ah so it was a Happy Canadian Thanks Giving treat that Jason announced his Canadian Steam engine on Monday then? Hah hah! Now I know how my wife feels having immigrated from England to the US, not familiar with many of the holidays. Some one at a shop asked her yesterday, what do people in England do on July 4. She answered matter-of-fact that they do nothing - it’s just like any other day in the UK! hah hah
