Turkey

Whenever I hear the word Turkey, my trip to Turkey, many years ago, immediately comes to mind. A friend and I brought our bicycles and that's how we were going to travel. First day out, it was so hot that the pavement melted, and we had five flat tires between the two of us. Next day we stored the bikes and resorted to the excellent bus system. My picture shows three storks in a nest. "Menage a trois" I suppose.
 
I wish you all a very HAPPY THANKSGIVING, even as I am sick at the thought of the millions of birds that are slaughtered each year. It seems barbaric to me. One day people will look back at this practice with as much understanding as we now have of the former custom of binding women's feet in China.
