Very little, actually.
+ There was no traffic on the way down to my parents’ assisted living facility at the Jersey shore via Rt 1+9, 9 and 18 on Thursday. And I left at 3:00 PM to avoid traffic on the Parkway on the way home - and did so.
The mid-day meal at the home was good, but not exactly “sumptuous”. Not what I had been used to in the past for a Thanksgiving dinner, but certainly better than last year’s meal from Dunkin’ Donuts! My evening meal was from NATHAN’s at the Parkway rest stop en route home.
+ Jim of BLUEPRINT FOR FINANCIAL PROSPERITY provides a brief primer on the "History of the Indices: Dow, Nasdaq, S&P & More".
+ Say it isn’t so! It seems that the steaming pile of excrement known as “The Apprentice” is returning – this time with “celebrity” contestants. Their careers must really be heading for the toilet if they have to stoop to licking Trump’s boots.
+ Each year in December I report on the annual Christmas Price Index – the cost of the items gifted in “The Twelve Days of Christmas” – over at THE WANDERING TAX PRO. Little did I know that there is a similar Thanksgiving Price Index. Kay Bell, the yellow rose of taxes over at DON’T MESS WITH TAXES reports in her posting “Cranberry Thanks” that “The American Farm Bureau Federation says that menu items for a traditional Thanksgiving dinner -- turkey, stuffing or dressing, cranberries, pumpkin pie and all the trimmings -- will cost more this year. According to the group's 22nd annual informal survey of the prices of turkey day dinner items, the average cost to feed a table of 10 this year is $42.26. That's $4.16 more than last year’s average of $38.10.”
