Record of Maritime Disasters Across The Atlantic
A reflective piece notes recurring Thanksgiving era shipwrecks starting with the 1846 loss of the Atlantic off Fisher's Island and the current Folkestone collision. It laments the ongoing danger in the English Channel, cites the Pommerania disaster, and laments the broad impact on German expatriates and families on both sides of the Atlantic, urging better safety measures. The tone bitterly questions accountability and the public’s satisfaction with inquiries.

Gobbler Khan and a Thanksgiving Parade of Quips
A sprawling Thanksgiving fragment blends humorous quips, political asides, and seasonal chatter. It references Gobbler Khan and a playful sermon on poultry, then shifts to notes about Mary Anderson, politicians, and local curiosities, tying a festive mood to contemporary personalities and events.
