Nothing is so stupid that you can't find somebody who
did it at least once if you look hard enough.

You could go to work, leaving others to stay home?

So where's all the money coming from that you need all this financial
planning for?

Maybe there's radio bingo? The radio station on the reserve outside of
town here has a weekly radio bingo, I hear it does pretty well.

He could take over the panhandling for someone for the day, letting them
have a day off to do holiday things.

I used to listen to WBZ in Boston a lot, even though it's not local, and
one of their announcers would do Christams eve, because he was Jewish
while the other announcers did want the day off. So it was live radio at
a time when most stations would use recordings, and he really made it all
so nice and cozy. He actually did other holidays too, equally cozy. Toof
often radio becomes recordings on holidays, making things kind of cold, on
days that can seem cold (not just literally) if you aren't actually
celebrating the holiday. It's a time when really live radio is a good
thing, except people at the station want that time off (and I'm not saying
they shouldn't).

BWAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!!! Yeah, give those tired feet a rest and those cramped
hands holding signs asking for 'donations' a break.

Our local panhandlers already work in shifts so I suspect that's already
been worked out with the guy who drops them off and picks them up.

I thought he was selling stuff on ebay. But it could be drugs, I suppose.

From Canada, the US Thanksgiving has always seemed better than here in
Canad, we have ours in early October.

I guess it's because I see it through the lens of tv and movies, all that
family getting together and the rituals involved, the food and the
football game. It just seems so cozy, while here it just seems cold. Amd
of course, US Thanksgiving is a good launch to the Christmas season, not
the Black Friday, but the CHristmas specials start then too. I'ts a
reasonable distance before Christmas too. And the Macy's parade. Even "A
Miracle on 34th Street" begins with US Thanksgiving and the parade.

So it's all very cozy watching it from up here, any reality missing from
what we see.
