A Quick Thought on Turkeys

Well, before I head off North, I should mention that there are real turkeys by my parents' house. One of the roads out to their house, runs through a little dell. The turkeys are wild turkeys, that like to cross from the woods on one side, to the cornfields on the other. Wild turkeys are smart, huge and black. Let's just say you don't get a run up the hill without checking for the flock of turkeys. These suckers like to stand in the road. And since they are of a size that you can see them over the hood of your car, you don't want to hit them. That is a lot of bird to ornament your hood. And unlike deer, they aren't particularly anxious to cross the road quickly. They know they're big enough. So, sometimes you just have to wait for the birds.

Although, it is pretty neat to watch them.

Enjoy the holiday! And safe driving!
