Happy Thanksgiving all you Americans.

Chris, biszkopt+ is actually the light dough part of a cake -- the recipe part made with eggs, flour, sugar, etc. Afterwards you can slice it in half or more circles and put in cream, fruit or whatever. It's not usually eaten on its own. You add cream or other things and it becomes a +tort.

Not sure what would make a good Thanksgiving one though.

Pumpkin biszkopt for everyone! (Where there is Doubt, there is always Tradition.)

Just saw an excellent documentary this morning (thanks, Netflix). "In the Realms of the Unreal" deals with outsider artist Henry Darger, a Chicago recluse who created a mammoth fantasy novel with vivid accompanying artwork. Beautiful and unsettling, and recommended.

I wonder whether those bees are overweight?

It came pretty early this year. Happy Hanukkah!

Soon enough there'll be a demand for Robitussin-colored honey. I am disappointed that my browser recognizes "Robitussin" but not "there'll."

TT won't let me post this link properly.

Just clicking on the link worked. Odd -- I thought foxes were smaller than that. Obviously those dogs don't have much future as hunters.

Weather reporters were getting all sorts of reports of a funnel cloud here yesterday--something that would be pretty rare. But what people were seeing was something that is also pretty uncommon. A hole punch cloud (Photo may take a bit to load)

Well the first time I tried to post a few thoughts about foxes and hole-punch clouds here, we had a power outage (they occur daily this time of year--some are shorter and some longer).

Vinny #4545 did you just input that typing-school standby into your YouTube search to see what might come out?

Nutrax, thanks for that interesting link, and for "virga."

Edited by me (who else?). I have a Libya-related punctuation question on SiT in case anyone (Vinny?) wants to help.
