My office smells of frying turkeys, and it is AMAZING.

My company has an annual turkey fry the day before the Thanksgiving break. The company provides five deep-fried turkeys, and people bring side dishes, desserts, and other stuff for the potluck.

(I've got my garlic roasted new potatoes sitting next to me on my desk, ready to go into the heating dish...)

My mind is full of sweet, juicy thoughts of turkey.

Can't think.

And I will miss the internet. It had a good run, and a lot of new companies, products, and markets now exist because of its open nature. Once it is closed down, I expect the GDP will probably drop by 20%, and unemployment will skyrocket as programmers find themselves out of work.

It's a bummer, but... hey... change happens. I look forward to Trump re-opening all the old coal mines so I can find a new job next year...
