Uh...Again, I guess you are not familiar with American holidays like Thanksgiving where it actually takes place between the third Thursday of the month through the weekend.
There are many traditions surrounding spending time with family and friends more than just "Thanksgiving Day".

IF you are offended, well that was not my intention.
You might also notice a slow down during the first week of July. _______________________________________________________ Lem Motlow, Proprietor Lynchburg (pop 361), Tenn.
