Happy Thanksgiving ***
*** Or as a few of us like to call it.
The anniversary of the day that we celebrate the fact that we killed a lot of original inhabitants of this land and ate dead birds. (I am not sure that we can actually prove that we ate turkeys).
Other anniversaries on this day, include:
Happy Jack Ruby shot Lee Harvey Oswald day.
Happy Dan Cooper (a.k.a. D.B. Cooper) day.
D.B. Cooper, I believe, survived the jump from 10,000 feet and lived the rest of his life (maybe still living) somewhere in Mexico. You could live like a king in Mexico with $200,000 back in the 1970's. First of all, it was well planned. Four parachutes...making the FBI think that he might be taking hostages with him. Don't want to kill innocent people with a parachute that doesn't open. Boarded the only jet that had a rear exit. Twenty dollar bills, easy to pass back then. Yes, I know that the FBI recorded the serial numbers of the bills. But only one batch ($5,800) has ever been found and by a kid. Let me find $5,800 by a river bank.
Now, D.B. is probably playing on-line in a 2-4 game, living the good life.
