As a special gift to Austin Monitor readers (and writers and editors), we are giving you the next two days off to celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday however you choose. We will see you bright and early Monday, with updates on everything that transpired in the meantime. Have a great holiday!

Elizabeth Pagano is the editor of the Austin Monitor.
