A lot of people would think(especially Americans) that when it comes to webcams, the U.S. has a majority of the cams worldwide. However, this is not the case. The webcam site Webcan Galore has over 10,000 webcams in its directory, with only a little over 3,400 coming from America. Since WU is generally mostly frequented by Americans(and even more importantly to me, that I am an American, most of my blogs have at least 3-4 U.S. cams in them.

This week, with one small but important exception, I'm staying away from the U.S., camwise!

Alley .... I knew I had heard of the word wishy-washies, but it wouldn't come to me earlier.

It is actually "wishy washy" ... Definition.

1. Thin and watery, as tea or soup; insipid
2. Lacking in strength of character or purpose; ineffective

Glad I made you laugh - laughter is the best medicine!

I'm at eight, maybe nine cams now!

I like the "turkey on a wire" cartoon, Alley! Funny!

Sandi, I believe Charlie Brown was often called wishy-washy!

Only one more cam to find; I'll do that tomorrow night when I get back! Everybody have a nice day tomorrow!

Trauma - looking at that list Alley posted, we certainly seem to speak a different language! lol

For instance, chips to you are crisps to us.... And chips to us are fries to you. I mean, can you imagine going into a seaside restaurant and asking for a bag of fish and fries? Just doesn't sound right!! lol

Hope you have a great Thanksgiving. Do you have to work, or are you lucky like Ylee, and get the day off?

Thanks Sandi!!

Happy Thanksgiving to you too!!

I work twelve hours tonight and will be off thanksgiving day. Like Ylee, I am taking advantage of available overtime.

Top Gear keeps me laughing....first time I heard the toilet referred to as a bog!!

Good morning Ylee.
I sure have a great memory. After trying to work the appointment around the doctor's schedule, he dosen't work mornings and the Queens who works afternoons I had the wrong day written down. The appointment isn't until Friday.
Enjoy your day.

For flowers that bloom about our feet;
For tender grass, so fresh, so sweet;
For song of bird, and hum of bee;
For all things fair we hear or see,
Father in heaven, we thank Thee!
~Ralph Waldo Emerson

For each new morning with its light,
For rest and shelter of the night,
For health and food, for love and friends,
For everything Thy goodness sends.

I found a very appropriate Thanksgiving greeting for you, but it was disallowed by the
WU approvers, as 'not site appropriate' just because it had a "rooty tooty point and shooty" in it !!! Lol
And although I have it in Flickr, you wouldn't be able to see it - so never mind, I wish you and your family a very happy day, anyway :-)

Sandy, Ylee will be able to see it, I saved it to my desktop then added "mil" to it like I do for all my pics so he can see it. Same for the Thanksgiving pic.

Great Storm Watching on the Knysna Heads.
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone - especially to U. S. citizens.
Be careful if you are driving about your beautiful country - you might just run in to another tourist like me poking at his GPS on the freeway.

I about ruptured something laughing over those two chipmuncks in Pilgrim gear coming for the pecan pie!

Though Sandi says I'm 'almost English' because I know how to translate terms for different things, I was rather confused over some of the words/terms on Alley's list. Wishie-washies? Slappy ham? Those sounded too off the wall to be right. Not unless it's some kind of new slang I haven't run across.

The one thing that threw me for the longest time was 'jumper.' I kept reading about various characters in different books donning 'hand made jumpers." Some described as ratty, others as unbecoming colours, etc. They never seemed to be nice whatevertheyweres, for some reason.

I simply could not picture what in the world they were. Our jumpers are sleeveless, neckless dresses that you wear turtlenecks or blouses underneath. A handknitted dress? Ewwww......

Finally, in one book, the context and wording allowed enlightenment: a sweater. Whether pullover or cardigan, I'm not sure but it was a sweater.

Good morning, if you are in the Central Time Zone, and points east! Between a crazy busy nigt, and WU server problems, this is the first chance I've had to get on here! Looks like a nice Thanksgiving day, with another 60 degree day on tap, followed by a chance of rain tomorrow night and Friday morning!

Hopefully I can get the blog done tonight! I should have 3-4 hours of downtime at the end of the shift; what is critical is that the WU servers behave!

Reno, Trauma, Sandi, Alley, Tony, Pros, Tomball, janet, ycd, bug, and cal, thanks for stopping by and leaving all those cartoons and Thanksgiving well wishes! One question though, Alley, and Sandi: do you two know something about Sean Connery that we don't? ;-)

Oh, Alley, it is probably just as well Ylee is making a new blog tonight - he will get thrown off WUville for debauchery, if the big-wigs see that image!!

Happy Thanksgiving to All :-)
