Greetings!

Happy Thanksgiving to you from your friends at The Edge, and our friends at The Conversation, who offered us a few stories to choose from this holiday. I thought a few pointers about how to avoid blowing up your garage while deep frying your turkey might be helpful.

We're off tomorrow, but Birds of Berea will be back on Sunday, and then it's another week of news.

Thank you for the many blessings you have given to The Edge this year. The link to the story is below.

Happy Thanksgiving!
