I just got back from a beer run to Tina's Food Market and what did I see crossing N. Franklin Place? That's right, astute headline readers, a wild female turkey! Moving with an easy strut onto N. Warren, she took absolutely no notice of the copious numbers of slack jawed gawkers--such as myself--who watched her proceed along her path, all the while shouting, "What is that?" and "Is that a turkey?" and "Holy sh*t, it is!"
Fortunately for you, I didn't have my phone with me, so you will be spared a blurry, barely discernible snapshot of the bold and stoic bird.
Since I was sans mobile, I hope someone called Animal Control so she won't get hurt. Although I did see a chef walking out from behind The Pasta Tree, into whose backyard she had wandered and disappeared from my sight, and he was wiping his hands on a kitchen towel. No!!!
