Today is the day you wake up, count your blessings, recognize the good things and people in your life, even in these trying times, and offer up some heartfelt thanks.
And then you step outside, realize you live in Bakersfield, and say
"Ah, the hell with it".
But despite it all, there are people to thank. And chief among them is reader Jason M. who sent me the link to this awesome video.
Consider it my Thanksgiving Day gift to you.
So as you gather 'round the table today with family and friends, hold hands and give thanks... that you don't live here.
