So, I made roast turkey today. I like turkey and WinCo gave free turkey if you bought $100 in groceries. It was the first time I went grocery shopping in months, so that was not a problem. I've taken the meat off and set the carcass to boiling into a delicious broth for dumplings
And so much turkey to make sandwiches and to freeze for hotdish, pot pie, etc. Just because this year's Thanksgiving is not a celebration, doesn't have to mean no turkey. And I think tomorrow I will make wild rice salad.
I love wild rice and here's a picture of a wild rice paddy I have paddled through hundreds of times when I was growing up. I've never harvested any as that is reserved only for indigenous people, but I have managed to get lost in the paddies more than once.
I know it looks like you can't get lost as the river flows clearly into the lake. I promise you, it does not look like that at eye level.

So, the very first thing I did today was trip and fall. HARD! My left knee is bruised with two cuts. My right elbow is bruised with 4 scratches. I have a goose egg on my forehead and my shoulders are killing me. My glasses are bent & my cane is broken.
But I have taken some ibuprofen and made a cup of coffee.

Coffee makes everything better.
This reminds me of when my mom died. I knew she was going to die. She had fallen and had a concussion. She was not getting better. She told the hospital no more food and water. Well, that puts an end to things quickly. That was her choice as much as I hated it. Anyway, my sisters

Political stupidity is not limited to white people. However, Black people choosing Trumpism and Republicans out of disappointment with Democrats failing to do enough to help should recognize why their grandparents and great-grandparents moved to the Dems

During the Depression, the Republicans proved they were totally serious about doing nothing to help the commonweal. The Democrats were still the party of the Klan, but they also were the party of government intervention, in the belief that they party could promote economic health
For Black people to advance, the government had to push some civil rights policies. While the Democrats (in general) were anti-Black, they believed in government promoting public policy for the general welfare and Republicans were ideologically opposed to any intervention.

For me, Thanksgiving is time to start making Christmas presents. This year I am thinking of making homemade Hot Chocolate mix.

Sift together 2 cups of powdered milk, 1 cup of powdered sugar, & 2 cups of cocoa powder. I use Ghiradelli's Sweet Ground Dark Chocolate & Cocoa Powder
I am enjoying a cup right this minute. Yum!
Other things I have made. Mom's shelf-stable pie crust mix. 5 lbs flour (minus 2 cups), 1 lg can of Crisco, 2 TBSP salt. Mix, store in a sealed container. Just add water when you want to make the pie. Lasts without refrigeration for at least 1 year.

New Thought has invaded and contaminated far too much of our culture. I have tweeted about it before and it annoys me no end to see it invade politics.

I mean, the entire argument for a Bernie Revolution is speaking it into existence, isn't it? So much so, he didn't even see the need to elect a Democratic House and Senate when he ran in 2016. He would just say Single Payer and it would happen.
Now it seems that there is the "Do Something" caucus who seem to want politicians to say the magic words that will make Donald Trump go away. They think we don't have COVID relief because Democrats don't demand it the right way.

I am accustomed to being the only white person in the room. I don't get nervous about it. I don't recall ever seeing another white person at my laundromat in 10 years. But today was different, maybe because the other customers were young, Black men. Well, also one old Black man.
There had been a couple Black women, but they left to do errands while their dryers ran. So, the guys all congregated on the other side and were mostly having fun, except every time they got a little loud or laughed, they would hush each other.
Obviously, Karen has been enough of a problem that I made them uneasy about being themselves. The women came back to get their stuff, and alas, the whites had not dried. So they put some more money in and she folded up the rest of her stuff and heading out the door..

I am going to do something unusual and amplify some Republicans who earned my respect.

I will start with Oregon's Secretary of State Bev Clarno. She was appointed by Gov. Brown (D) when prior SOS (R) died. She ran our election & defended Vote-By-Mail.
True, all she did is what any professional electoral manager would do, but that is extraordinary in these times.

Now to the SoS in Georgia. Brad Raffensperger is probably incinerating his political career to defend Georgia voters and protect their votes.
He now has both Republican senatorial candidates calling for his resignation. He's getting death threats, and he has pissed of Trump and the Chair of the Judiciary Committee Lindsey Graham.
