I try not to read much news, but I must see how many cases are in my state and where they are. They are rising as in most places. And it seems to be quite often caused by human stupidity. A guy in our state has the virus and went into a restaurant, and now 17 people may have it. Really??

Maybe it is because there is no mention of the big C, or the big D, or any other of the big issues that the world is struggling with at the moment.<br />Thank you!<br /><br />Here in Germany, of course we do not have wild turkeys. I have only ever seen them on fenced-in pastures, calmly and happily (?) going about their business, with the funny little sounds they make.Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6049626897935912366.post-35000567755097161152020-10-16T20:53:51.853-04:002020-10-16T20:53:51.853-04:00I love wild turkeys.
