Happy Thanksgiving

It is literally true, as the thankless say, that they have nothing to be thankful for.  He who sits by the fire, thankless for the fire, is just as if he had no fire.  Nothing is possessed save in appreciation, of which thankfulness is the indispensable ingredient.  But a thankful heart hath a continual feast.  ~W.J.

I have always been a fan of George Winston. Attached is his arrangement called called Thanksgiving.

Take minute and give a listen and think about your blessings.

Sierra Trading Post donates winter clothing to Joplin

I have really been impressed with Sierra Trading Post for some great values on some great outdoor gear.

I find their customer service is excellent and they are never short on an e-mail offer which routinely gets you free shipping and extra 20 - 30% off.

The attached story even makes it better, they give back. 

Check out the link below and consider them next time you need something for your outdoor activities.

Aside from the creepy howl and horns, the Ozark Howler is said to have glowing eyes which allow it to spot and perceive its prey even at a distance.
