| | | Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanskgiving to all of the Canadian members of ThrillNetwork.
How did you all spend your weekend?
I spent 2 days with my girlfriend and her family since she was home from university, had dinner with my family on Sunday (where I ate way too much great food), and dropped my girlfriend off at the train station today as she headed back to Windsor.

| | | Yes. Canadians celebrate Thanksgiving the second Monday in October, as opposed to the fourth Thursday in November as Americans do.

| | | Did any one here in the US get Columbus Day off from work or school? We at our weather lab decided took a day off from our research.
I believe some, but not all, get to enjoy that long weekend.

| | | You know, I'm actually kind of shocked that people don't even know that Canada celebrates Thanksgiving at a different date...this just raises the age-old question: how much does America know about it's neighbour to the North?
