Okay, okay. It was taken on Tuesday, and it’s a roast chicken, not a turkey, but it’s the thought that counts, right? We’re taking a couple of days off, yours truly and the fam. We hope this wonderful, uniquely American holiday is good to you, and that you are happy and safe until we meet again.
And many many thanks to the American public who live and work on both sides of the railroad tracks of the Downeaster (Brunswick Maine to Boston) and the MTA from Boston to Lincoln, Mass.
NO LITTER~!!! Clean as a pin whether it is on the verges, in back yards, Factories, parking lots, construction sites, parks, schools......whatever! No junk, No garbage, no litter.
We are better than we think we are! Let's sing America the Beautiful!
Chicken is my preference, not so dry and not so large that you have to have sandwiches, then stew, then soup for days and days. Have the best Thanksgiving ever. We so appreciate you!
Lucian, I discovered your Substack articles during the Afghanistan withdrawal, to which you brought so much clarity and perspective. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours, enjoy your chicken, stuffing and asparagus, all sound choices which we often have ourselves.
A very happy thanksgiving to you and yours Lucian. And we all so appreciate your keeping us updated on all the important matters. And your amazing writing.
Lucian won't link to it, but I will, in the spirit of "the apple doesn't fall far from the tree," etc. etc.
Also it's instructive in itself as a summary of General Truscott's career, and shows that Wikipedia is worth perusing as a starting point for further research, and no longer a kind of joke, where all sorts of nonsense can survive.
I am thankful for a year of your wisdom, insight, grace and insistence on facts not fantasy. Thank you Lucian. All the best to you and your family
Same to you and yours!! Thankful for your work!
Always good to give thanks.

That is one huge chicken.

I did not know you were left-handed.
As a fathful subscriber, I do know beyond the cavil of a doubt that that knife is beyond sharp.
Warm regards and Happy Thanksgiving,
