Happy Thanksgiving from I&T

Things could always be worse. We can also be thankful about what we have enjoyed, even if only retrospectively. Many Americans will give thanks for our new president; many will give thanks for their children, their spouses and other loved ones; many will be thankful for a day off work, if nothing else.
