Happy Thanksgiving to Sheila Trolley, Fat Bass Terd, and all the others who has made blogging more entertaining and educational to me then watching T.V.. I will be back after I enjoy my holiday to disagree with everything you all have to say.

Although being more entertaining than modern day TV is not a big compliment, we take what we can get. C'mon back now Mayhem. Where would the world be today without you. Oh, peaceful....how boring????

Bless you.

And may Stone Mountain be the wind beneath your wings.
