Things to be thankful for: Farmers' markets. Fair trade chocolate. Fair trade tea. The invention of peanut butter. Whoever maintains Debian, and Ubuntu. The power companies keeping in the lights on (for the most part). A/C. Fresh cooked falafel. The art of typography. Real books. Dim sum. Mechanical pencils. The remaining bananas before the bananapocolypse. Alternative milks (just not soy). Desktops that have an inverse-video mode. Battery technology. Manual transmission cars with sunroofs. Burritos (gringo). Tamales. Chicken tortilla soup. Pho. Banh mi. Bi bim bop. Unagi. Bicycles. Gears in general. Fish and chips circa 1985 (uh yeah too rapacious, in retrospect). 8 bit computers. Shmups. Public libraries.

But... not Bloger, so much.
