Editors note: Thanksgiving edition

A combination of a slow news weekend and an exhausted blog editor means that there wasn't much posting recently. I've been looking for something to comment on all morning and have found nothing. Sure there is a lot of stuff going on, but none of it warrants a post... yet. I might post something about the suicide bombing in Afghanistan at a volleyball tournament, of all things, later this evening, but for now there isn't enough to go on. And everything else is just stories about people waiting for something big to happen. Ferguson is still a mess but there is no word yet on when the news will break. Ebola is still spreading in Mali but not so much that it is showing that they can't handle it yet. And Iraq, Ukraine, Syria, and Russia are still all messes, but no big news about any of them have broken over the weekend, at least not that I have seen.

The big story over the weekend seems to be the Bill Cosby story and I couldn't care less about that.

Blogging was slow this weekend because I was celebrating Thanksgiving a bit early. I'm working on the actual holiday... and getting double time and a half for it. Waking up early and driving for about an hour each way to see my folks was a bit much after a busy and stressful week. This week should be a bit more low key and blogging should pick up as the week goes on, especially if one of the "big stories" finally breaks.
