Columbus Day! Apparently he was a slave trader (in 1492, not that I condone slavery, but 500 years from now they will think very differently from us too), apprently he is single handedly responsible for the displacemnt/ruination of native Americans, and since he didn't make it to India like he planned, he is a complete failure. I don't know if anyone else caught this vibe listening to the media last weekend?? Anyway, I decided to celebrate Columbus Day, even if a week late this year. He may have not been the first one to get here, he may have not meant to come here, but he got the credit for the last 500 years, good enough for me. Started the smoker a little after 5 this morning, got 10# of pork sitting on it now, with chicken to make its way there after awhile. Gonna have a bonfire tonight with friends and kids coming over. Beverages and smores. I think I will have to make this an annual Columbus Day event. Edited by hucklburry (10/13/12 11:01 AM) Post Extras
