Much better version of the Thanksgiving history and a better date. Up a state and not unusual to have a foot or more of snow back when I lived in that area 😜

Thanks. I grew up in the Winter Wonderland of Michigan. Lots of snow.

JackH had a good response to the Food replicator. He says we already have them. Check out his response.

I am not a fan of feather clothes. 🤣

All history books should be written by fake Canadian fur trappers. 😉

Note from Canadian historian: most of the "Canadian" fur trappers were either English, French, Indigenous or some combination of same. Most of them didn't say "eh?" or play hockey- those both came later....

You are correct, Sir. It was partly humorous fiction. Time traveler like to embellish. 😉

Food replicator? There's an app for that. Several, actually. Just select the food you want and the quantity, verify your location, approve electronic payment, and {WHOOSH} your food appears. In 30-60 minutes (replicators are currently slow). Due to safety concerns, the food appears on your front stoop to avoid materializing in awkward places.

Imma need a snap shot of that prediction paper please. I think you used your time travel capabilities, traveled back to 1976, wrote your predictions based on your knowledge of today, then left them in a box in the attic for you to find this year. Call me skeptical. All of your Thanksgiving recall sounds accurate though.
