The SOL alternative:
Thanksgiving is for when you've spent every
waking hour for the last 5 years working on
your LBC. The Big Day comes, it fires up
first time, passes its safety and smog tests
and your wife is so proud of you that all your
efforts have been worthwhile and she hadn't
minded a bit that the happy homestead was
falling apart and you hadn't notice your
children grow up and .........
What else is there to do but have the biggest
celebration ever. Only, I can't see how this
can be an annual event.
