Hi All,

People from the USA will be celebrating Thanksgiving tomorrow--4th Thursday in November. We eat turkey and give thanks for the pilgrims surviving--with the help of the Indians--on the new continent.

Operations at JPL and all over the USA will be impacted as this is the biggest holiday other than Christmas. People try and spend it with their relatives and friends and this is our biggest travel day of the year.

Well, I know that there are still a bunch of people working at JPL even on Thanksgiving and we are still getting data down for them through the DSN.

So let's give our THANKS to them for all the data the provide.
