Calling all geologists! What is this reddish stuff? - Yesterday

Re: WKRP Turkey Drop - Yesterday
Yes, wild turkeys can fly far enough to get themselves up into a tree for safety and sleep Actually, turkeys are very strong fliers and can escape most enemies although they prefer to run away.

Ben Franklin wanting the turkey to be the official symbol of the infant United States is a myth, too.by DP - Tips and Deals

Put Sabrina in her Winter home last evening. A little late getting her there and with a forecast of snow this weekend-and the possible use of road salt-it was starting to get imperative. So she's now packed away after a less-then-wonderful driving season. We had a rainy Summer and I didn't drive her nearly as much as I had wanted as it seemed to be pouring every time I wanted to get on theby DP - Tips and Deals
