Tidibt of information for jauntie...did you know that the turkey was ALMOST the national bird of the US?? Benjamin Franklin wanted that proud looking bird to be the national bird, but good thing it didn't fly (yeah, sorry for the pun..its early folks!). Imagine if we'd had a national turkey..we'd be eating Eagle for Thanksgiving and Christmas...not enough white breast meat...we fight over it as it is...
Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be. --Abraham Lincoln (1809 - 1865)
