Wild Turkey

Okay, as I was just sitting here on my patio, typing on the laptop, I happened to look up. And I found myself looking back at three gigantic wild turkeys. Seriously, like maybe three-feet tall each. They were just standing there, in the middle of my complex, about twenty feet from me. I just stared at them, and they stared back. Then they meandered out of sight. I just sat here, blinking.

Moments later, I heard and saw a low-flying police helicopter start circling overhead. Moments after that, one of the turkeys came back into view--flying. He was flapping his wings frantically and clearing one of the parking structures. He hit the ground running and scurried out of view, heading toward the parking lot exit. I craned my neck and watched this curiously. About five seconds later, his two partners came running from behind the complex office and took off after him. The police helicopter then moved away, and is currently circling somewhere off in the distance.

I can only sit here and wonder what kind of job they pulled, and hope that no innocents were harmed during their getaway.

I need a drink.
