Something about the turkey's eyes... (5.00 / 3) (#1)

reminds me of Rumsfeld.

Put a pair of glasses on him! (5.00 / 2) (#6)

Ooh - you're right Cho! He does look like Rummy.

Now I don't feel so bad about thinking about stuffing and roasting that turkey.

Lekking (5.00 / 1) (#7)

There is at least one big difference: you won't see Rummy lekking in public.

One More for the PTSD files:

Kingston GI brought home hidden injuries
Less than a month after returning from Afghanistan, Michael Torok ended his life on an Ogle County road.

By Pat Cunningham
ROCKFORD REGISTER STAR
When 23-year-old Michael Torok returned home to DeKalb County in September 2004 after serving in the U.S. Army in Afghanistan, he had more health issues than anyone had suspected.
Michael's father, Roland, recalled recently that his son visited a veterans hospital Sept. 4 in Chicago.
"He had back pains and blood in his urine," the elder Torok said.

"Never again shall one generation of veterans abandon another."

I remember that turkey (5.00 / 3) (#3)

Yikes, he used to take me for maths. I can see the gaunt treble chins shaking even now as he handed back my test paper with a huge inward sigh that ended up as a gobbling growl of anguish at my efforts.

I somehow passed my maths GCE (Brit matriculation). I met him in the corridor. "My boy, this morning I reflected deeply and thought it was time to retire from teaching if that is how low standards have now reached".

I had been hoping for quiet congradulations.

Yep. I know that Turkey.

Poppy season (5.00 / 3) (#4)

Around here, its poppy season:

California Golden Poppies

: True confessions... (5.00 / 2) (#5)

I miss the California poppies so much... I even buy seed and such... because I foolishly believe, ever hopefully, that I can bring a little of the Sonoran desert (yes the poppies grow there too!) to New England.
Fie!
No such luck.
Get turkeys though.

: Absolutely stunning photo... (5.00 / 1) (#10)

Wouldn't everyone -- even Dorothy and Toto -- love to curl up and fall asleep in their midst?

Love these guys! (none / 0) (#9)

Thanks for bringing a smile to my face; nothing better than nature and animals -- even if they are turkeys -- to bring you back to earth's finer things.

Thanks, avahome!
