Cranberries dancing
in boiling sugar water;
soon they will explode!

Lucia, it’s only Thanksgiving in America, not everywhere. :) But Happy Thanksgiving to you regardless.

Fred N,

Although Thanksgiving is officially an American holiday, the spirit of it is ‘global’. It invites any person, regardless of location, to be thankful for all they have been given. We welcome anyone who would like to celebrate with us as you have!

I guess my attempt at Canadian (our Thanksgiving is in October) humour (Canadian spelling) didn’t come through. :)

It’s pretty dead in the office around here in the office. We can’t communicate with our US customers. So I guess the world does revolve around the great US of A. ;)

Happy thanksgiving guys – hope its a great one for you. Political parties are imploding over here in Australia over the ETS/climate alarmism. Leader of the opposition almost gone because of climate alamism, potential for new climate skeptic leader by monday, government needs to have conscience vote to allow their own skeptics to stand up and speak out. Hopefully we will be able to give thanks soon also :)

Happy Thanksgiving and Thanks for all your efforts. Give those AGW turkey lurkeys and chicken lickens a good roasting.

Also in news, how ironic: a key figure in the ongoing leadership face-off in Australia’s labour party is named Joe Hockey. They’re fighting over the ETS bill:

Wonder what Phil Jones is having for Thanksgiving? Oh, I forgot, he’s the turkey.

Cransberries are red, tomatoes are too. Spring tomato planting is on my mind. I would like to get them off to a good start with some extra CO2 and am looking for suggestions. A small hot house (e.g. aquarium with a glass lid?) and a CO2 source (e.g. dry ice, heavy breathing). Hopefully some chemists out there can help with a good CO2 source and concentration.
Hope all had a happy Nov 26 (Thanksgiving day in the U S of A).
