ok for you Yanks....lol......yesterday was the annual Wing inter ranks hockey tournament, and also a really proud day for the USAF contingent. Because of the way the American Thanksgiving fell, they had the 26 was half day work, 27 was thanksgiving and 28 was a day off, unless on crew.
One of the USAF lads decided to come and partake in the Hockey tournament, he was raised in upstate NY. So almost a Canadian. And of course he was on the winning team of Sr. NCO's mess. GB found out the Detachment CO is from 0hi0.....lol.....so I sort of talk to him about that fact........told him I had an in for him when he needs tires, and can get him a super deal......

John.
Well, I guess you could credit England with helping to develop it... in the same way you could credit England with helping establish the USA! 
Canada is a whole different story!

I'm sure you know the American and Canadian holiday... a particular group of settlers (Pilgrims and Puritans from England)celebrated a good harvest and gave thanks to God for helping them survive. Canadians celebrate in October, we celebrate on this date in November. Its a FEASTING holiday. Turkey being the tradition.
Anyway, Cheers and thanks for thinking about us!

- November 27, 2014, 09:14:29 AMWe got a couple of inches over night...and it's 8 deg. right now....but they claim it will hit 40 on Saturday...but with more snow tonight. I guess it could be worse. Maybe this will be one of those winters that wasn't like we had a few years ago, but I'll be thankful for getting through it, again!
