Good morning, Slopers, and welcome to Thanksgiving week. The Knight Family is holed up at their idyllic retreat to get close to nature’s God, spend time with one another, and to peel lots of potatoes.
Little Duke saw snow for the first time. I’m looking forward to when there’s some serious fluff on the ground to see how he reacts.
Equity futures are strongly higher, and I stand up on my chair and applaud the action. Bid ’em up, bulls. The higher the price I can short, the better. Love it! It’s a new market now, and I love green!

This entire week is going to be Tim Lite for my readers. I’m going to be quite occupied with family, food prep, cleanup, and all sorts of other responsibilities.

Time to walk the pup. See you later today!
