In case any one is wondering how you can get stranded in LA on Thanksgiving Day; here's how it happens. If you have not made flight reservations, or if something went wrong with your reservations, you're stuck in LA. You can not even get a donkey out of LA on Thanksgiving Day without reservations.
Nobody is from LA and everybody wants to go home where ever that is. People leave mansions going to the back woods of Tennessee; everybody wants to go home, and apparently LA is not home to half the population of that city.
