turkeys

Driving to work this morning I thought I was gonna puke, because there were 22 turkeys walking next to me.

According to the saying, "you learn something new every day." I can't personally vouch for having learned something new each day, but today, for me, it's true. I didn't know before, but there are Guinness World Records that involve Thanksgiving. About the only record I see myself setting would be "fastest asleep on the couch post-dessert."

As a kid, there was nothing I enjoyed hearing more on the cusp of a holiday than "Hey, kids! Let's learn something about (fill in the holiday)!" Really? I'm off of school for a few days! I'm not supposed to be learning things! Is this some sort of trick?

If your commute includes the area of Spring Creek and Alpine in Rockford, you've probably seen turkeys hanging out in around that intersection.

So that's how it is, huh? Just a few short weeks past the most stress-filled and dangerous time to be a turkey, you guys figure that since you survived Thanksgiving, you can just throw your weight around and bully people? Actually, that's exactly what's happening in Falmouth, Massachusetts...
