gobbledy-gook
Work has been slow lately, and I'm goofing off a lot. As in blogging like a maniac. Real-live wild turkeys.
Wild turkeys are cool. Thanks to the Missouri/Wisconsin turkey/grouse wildlife exchange program, wild turkeys are now back in Wisconsin. When you drive around the countryside you can see them in large flocks all over the place. They hang out with deer, who are taller and can see danger quicker.
My thoughts on this holiday season: I'm not going home for Thanksgiving or Chrismas, and I kinda like it. On the actual holiday day I may be a little blue, but I have neither the money or the energy to make it back to Wisconsin this year.
I did this before a few years ago, and it was kinda nice. No stress on buying presents, sending cards, or travelling during mass hysteria times. DC is very quiet between Christmas and New Year's. PS: My birthday falls on Dec. 28.

Jimbo - Missouri got the short end of the stick! Your Wisconsin grouse couldn't make it in Missouri. At least in my part of Missouri. I know - I've gone out at the crack of dawn the last 6 Aprils to listen for drummers! Haven't heard one in three years. Sad, really...few things are cooler than the sound of a grouse drumming when you're in the woods.

And ask me some time about my eerily accurate Barred Owl and Wild Turkey calls. I've actually excited Toms and have called in Barred Owls in the past.
My birthday/holiday wish list:
