American holiday celebrating the Pilgrims good fortunes.  Traditional 
main course is a turkey.  Lots of food, lots of eating, lots of 
football, lots of good times.  Also, traditional start of holiday season 
with lots of travel.

Looks like a lot of Fedora folks were active today with FC5T1 
installing, testing, bug reporting, etc.  It's 1:11 AM Friday here and 
am still at it trying to find all of the bugs.

Have a happy Down Under.
