Thanks, AL. Best to you and yours, too.
Thanksgiving is a great holiday--no religon necessary, no gifts, cards, and commercialism... just four days off with food and football.

Quote:
Thanksgiving, or Thanksgiving Day, is an annual one-day holiday to give thanks (traditionally to God), for the things one has at the close of the harvest season. In the United States, Thanksgiving is celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November, and in Canada it is celebrated on the second Monday in October. In the United Kingdom, Thanksgiving is another name for the Harvest festival, held in churches across the country on a relevant Sunday to mark the end of the local harvest, though it is not thought of as a major event (compared to Christmas or Easter) as it is in other parts of the world. This tradition was taken to North America by early settlers, where it became much more important.

We will have a day for Thanksgiving here in Australia when we get enought rain to break the drought over here.
Dams in Sydney are under 40% ( that gives us another three year without rain to top them up), other capital cities have even less. Some towns are completely dry in there water storage and have to ship it in.

To give you an idea on how big the storage of the main dam (Warragamba) for Sydney is, it would take 2 inches of rain over the entire catchment (9000 square kilometres) each day for a week to get the dam to 70% full from its current level.
