the dangers of wild turkey

On April 16, we were taking the train from DC to New York, when just south of Aberdeen, Maryland the train came to a stop. It turned out that we'd been hit by a turkey, which had shattered and knocked out one of the windshields. As the train could only move at a mere fraction of its usual speed without the windshield, all passengers had to be unloaded; we were put on another train a while later (all in all losing about two hours). I got a few pix while we were unloading and waiting for the new train.

About me

Thom Watson was born in a "pro-America" part of the country but then grew up to become a gay, liberal, Harvard-educated atheist living in northern California. He has come to terms with the fact that this pretty much disqualifies him from ever holding public office.
