Turkey

.

.

Now that I'm sufficiently stuffed with holiday edibles, I sit here unwinding from the day's adventures.

.

Little Truck made the trip without incident, n I'm very grateful to be home safe from my solitary travels. Near home the roads were deserted. Up near Brockton to Beantown, the highway got busy. The evening ride back was more crowded.

.

The roads around Metro-West are more rife than usual with pothole obstacles. After the winter damage it's normal, but it still hasn't snowed there yet. The bumps will become canyons by springtime after the plows get done. Infrastucture takes a budget cut...

.

It was one of the smallest Turkey gatherings I've attended in my life. We all fit into one room, at one table. A few invitees were unable to make the trip due to work n distance, but most missing folks managed to call to say hello during my short visit.

.

The food was excellent, n we all chowed down n had a good visit. As always it was fun to see everyone, n little guys kept us on our toes n entertained.

.

I'm thankful I got a new, large, brown-paper turkey on the fridge door to remind me of this day when I finally got to see special loved ones again.

I'm greatful everything in my zone went well, n was safe.

.

Hearing the current news about terror attacks with hostages ongoing in Mumbai India, is very distressing. Must there always be dreaded violence against innocent bystanders n freedom? How do people get brainwashed into carrying out these insane, bloody assaults? How can humans do such things?

I know I can't purposely hurt others, n for that, I'm very thankful.
