Happy Thanksgiving!



"Happy" Thanksgiving -- yeah, right. I'm just gonna hang out up here for a few days till the "festivities" are over. They might "pardon" the turkeys in some places, but we're pretty far from civilization here and I'm not gonna take my chances. I'll give thanks -- for my butt not being in the oven, that's what I'm giving thanks for today.

Our "Lady Turkey" (as Lazarus calls her) is up on the roof today, no doubt sensing that it's the best place for her these days. The "Boy Turkey," who's at least 25 pounds, couldn't fly a foot off the ground if his life depended on it, but lucky for him we're only making dinner for the four of us. If we get an elk next month on our hunt, he might just make it through Christmas, too...
