National Bavarian Cream Pie Day: More
Tomorrow's food holiday will be 'National Bavarian Cream Pie Day'.
[The Hankster says] Yes, I am wondering also, why it is not Pumpkin Pie.
And of course, tomorrow is ''Thanksgiving'. BTW, the Pilgrims did not dress in those stiff Puritan uniforms and they had little or no sugar after their long trip, so most likely no pies and such. There is a record of several men who were sent to hunt for fouls. No record of Turkey by name.
[The Hankster says] A day of food, games and friendship was had by all. At days end, Black Friday trading bargains were discussed with the Indians There was some talk of making deals over the newly created discovered communications medium called Smoke Signals, but all the wood was too wet.
Tomorrow also has it protest day. It is also 'National Day of Mourning' This is in the same sympathy with some Native Americans, as the anti Columbus Day events. It wants to tell the other side of the story as to what the Europeanization of the New World meant to the original inhabitants.
Another protest day of sorts. It will be 'Pins And Needles Day'. It commemorates the theatrical play of the same name, with a pro labor movement emphasis in sympathy with the Garment Workers strike of the period.
An awareness day tomorrow. 'National Family Health History Day' It is an awareness day, established by the U.S. Surgeon General. It emphasizes the sharing of family medical history among family members. Thanksgiving is a good time, when many family members are together.
Oliver Wendell Holmes once said 'Pick my left pocket of its silver dime, but spare the right — it holds my golden time! '
[The Hankster says] A timepiece may be stolen and time may steal away, bit I'm not sure time itself can be stolen. If time is not spent well, it is wasted, not purloined and we ourselves are the thieves. We can, however, perform a little C.S.I. work and see if others have misspent their daily allotment of time. Let us look at November 27 in the past.

November origin (from Wikipedia): 'November is the eleventh month of the year in the Julian and Gregorian
Calendars and one of four months with the length of 30 days. November was
the ninth month of the ancient Roman calendar. November retained its name
(from the Latin novem meaning 'nine') when January and February were added
to the Roman calendar.
'
'November is a month of spring in the Southern Hemisphere and autumn in
the Northern Hemisphere. Therefore, November in the Southern Hemisphere
is the seasonal equivalent of May in the Northern Hemisphere and vice
