Holiday Tradition

It’s a Thanksgiving tradition, apparently, for people in the UK to fill out maps of the US.   Which has happened again this year.

They seem pretty good sports about it, too.

It seems a little unfair.  We don’t spend our Bank Holiday Weekends trying to identify Old Jersey, Old York, and Old Hampshire.

Apparently I live in the Breaking Badlands, which is more true than the anonymous cartographer knew.  Many younger people seem to think my name is “Walter White.”  (I heard myself called that in a cafe the other day.)

My roommate on the Sun Dancer last spring kept calling me “Mr. White”— at least when he wasn’t calling me “dude”— so one day I told him to go down to the engine room and spend all night cleaning it, and then we’d put on our scuba gear next morning and cook.

And speaking of cooking, please have a delightful Thanksgiving, whether you live in Middle Carolina, Palinaska, or Other Georgia.
