    Overnight round-up and day ahead: "ASX Today: Bright start ahead as Dow, miners rise"





    Breakfast

    I consider it my mission to find the quirkiest national holidays on the planet.They don't get much stranger than this one. Today is Thanksgiving in the Caribbean island of Grenada. What are Grenadians giving thanks for? A US invasion in 1983. In one of the more reckless moments of the Reagan presidency,the Gipper sent in troops to "protect American citizens" living on the island - a thin excuse for what was really more about fear of communism on the US's doorstep. The winners of any conflict get to write the history, so the incident is now marked with a national holiday. Breakfast today is a traditional Caribbean medley from the Petite Anse Hotel. Saltfish, fritters, eggs, etc.
