Day 329

HAPPY THANKSGIVING DAY to all my American friends.  I know my Canadian friends have long ago digested their Thanksgiving meals!  I know these aren’t turkeys, but turkeys are expensive in Bangladesh.  I think they might cost $70!  I haven’t checked lately, and my memory isn’t what it used to be.  Hopefully I’m not exaggerating!  These are some ducks at Halim’s place.  Today us fellows on the team are cooking the meal for the ladies.  The menu is a secret, so I won’t disclose it until later! Have a great day!
