Frazz by Jef Mallett for November 16, 2020

Don’t sweat the small stuff, kid. Sweat the big stuff.

Don’t fuss about the shirt, the clean side is out.

The important stuff

Next year Tuesday through Sunday will be 16 to 21 and 4 days later will be Thanksgiving

Minor [and unappreciated] correction. After much historical research in Virginia, the issue of the first Thanksgiving was resolved for Virginians [but few others :) ]. President JF Kennedy signed a proclamation recognizing that the first Thanksgiving took place at what is now Berkeley Plantation on the banks of the James River in Virginia. The year was 1619.

See https://www.washingtonian.com/2015/11/18/the-first-thanksgiving-took-place-in-virginia-not-massachusetts/ and

Reenactments were well attended by all VA pols and citizens every years since 1963 until CV-19 forced cancellation of the 2020 festival.

Naturally, the dates of the first celebrations are not as important as what has happened since. History anyone?

The first thanksgiving, whenever or wherever it was, pales in comparison to the massive outpouring of joyous gratitude offered up on 2020 Nov. 7.

Future academic…

I remember at some time during the 1980’s wearing shirts inside out was a fad. Good thing it did not last long.

Don’t sweat the petty things & don’t pet the sweaty things.

Just because you notice interesting things, doesn’t mean you notice every thing.

“I never said I notice EVERYTHING.”

My thought on irrelevant imperfections and the pedants who persist in pointing them out publicly: “Anyone who notices that has something else they ought to be doing.”

She reminds me of a wonderful PBS TV series, Connections, in 1978.

Yes.
