(Even though it isn't)

Does anyone have any news tips or can point me to a place I can get the "Holiday Survival Guide"?

Should I pack blankets, flares, and water for the drive? What kind of snacks are the best for the drive? How can I get through the day without gaining weight? How can I deal with difficult family members? Should I talk about politics at the dinner table? How earlier should I get to the airport? Should I also pack my patience? Should we talk about what everyone thinks of stores being open on thanksgiving? Who is playing in a Turkey Bowl tomorrow morning? Anyone doing a turkey trot?

Happy TURKEY DAY!!!!

My son-in-law comes from a family of old and new money. His parents are divorced. His mom was a NFL cheerleader back in the early 1960s as a last moment substitute. She was very attractive. No pictures. She is as liberal as hell and hates Trump. His dad is a genius and probably on the spectrum but is a big strong dude so maybe not. But he is really self-absorbed and socially inept. He had made a lot of money in biochemistry stuff and owns like 15,000 acres in Central Oregon.

We had Thanksgiving with them in November of 2019 at my daughter and son-in-law's place. They stayed away from politics. Ah, but not my son-in-laws sister. She is liberal as hell and was a perpetual college student with three degrees. She is incredibly book smart but a social and common sense moron. Living on Mommy's money she has traveled the world and is a walking talking green gaia religionist with a carbon footprint greater than the street my daughter lives on. But it's all for her social goals and personal travel pleasure so it's all good.

Anyway, she was regaling us about her upcoming important trip to Kenya to save the rhinoceroses from poachers as part of her National Geographic gig. Of course it was all the fault of the white colonization of Africa. It was just laying there for me to pick up, but I didn't.

"So, let me get this straight. You are getting paid by white people to go to Africa to save the rhinoceros from getting killed by black people so they can sell their body parts to yellow people and this is somehow my fault?"

What did she say?

Didn't pull the pin. If she wasn't family then I would have made her cry.
