Tomorrow is Thanksgiving in the United States. To those of you celebrating, Happy Thanksgiving! It is a common tradition to list the things one is grateful for on this holiday.

I am thankful:

- that our HTM Community is a kind and welcoming place for newcomers
- to Jeff for opening up HTM theory to the world
- for the great team of people I work with at Numenta
- for the passionate, patient innovators in our community

Thanksgiving always makes me remember that the US might have had a turkey for a mascot instead of an eagle. Just imagine what the world would look like today if that had happened.
