Do senators ride horses to DC? Who sends letters via USPS carriers on horseback? Yet we insist on a calendar of events written circa 1789! Is Biden still President? Appearances are deceiving. Whose man is negotiating the next steps in Gaza? Who sat next to Macron in Paris?

Not sure, yet, whether the Israel-Hezbollah cease-fire will endure, or whether it marks a turning point in conflict in Israel v Islamist Iran and Israel. BUT there is a ray of hope, the voice of war has gone quiet. Reasons to give Thanks, with or without a roasted Turkey.
