[As the turkey picked up speed, it amazed me how fast it was, it was leaning further forward the faster it ran until suddenly...it took off! Now, I KNEW turkeys could fly]

After he hit V-1, V-R is not too far off....:)

“As gawd as my witness, I thought turkey’s could fly.”

Classic and best scene on WKRP.

Hahahahaha! Great reference...now that we have more turkeys than we can shake a stick at up here, I have seen them fly more than once, but that was a new thing for me!

I like turkeys. They are interesting birds. They come outside my window at work and make little chirruping sounds while they turn their heads sideways to look up at me quizzically with a great, big, turkey eye, wondering where their peanuts are (I feed the BlueJays and Titmice the peanuts...:):

All the other birds and animals steer clear of the turkeys when a peanut lands on the ground...I suspect they don't mess around with the concept of competing.

Also, they they get the peanut, they literally inhale it and swallow it whole in an instant, shell and all, then look back up at me for another one. Interesting creatures. And then there is this unexplained thing that happened out in the western part of my state...

A naturalist explained it in the paper as the turkeys trying to determine if the dead cat in the road was still a threat, but...nobody really knows, do they?

I like turkeys. They are interesting, and they taste good. (Should I not have said that?)
