Turkeys attacked my BMW



It's an iPhone shot, so the resolution isn't up to par, but the biggest tom in this 30+ turkey flock decided to spend a few minutes head-butting my Bimmer.

My Crazy Aunt and Her Dog Psychic

My aunt -hereafter to be known as my crazy aunt- sent me an email the other day, from which I've culled some interesting bits.  She has two dogs, Lissa and Daisy.  Larry is her husband.  Here's what she wrote, with my commentary in bracketed italics:
