Variety is the spice of life. Let's try one without pictures today. I can't go cold turkey, so this is about three things seen but not photographed.
Whenever I see the turkey in Morningside Park I keep a respectful distance. Wild turkeys are large and fast and they have been known to attack when they feel threatened. There were two guys absorbed in a loud conversation yesterday as they approached Hedda. That would be Hedda Gobbler, the turkey. Hedda gobbled and ran the other way off the stairs and into flight. I can't say she was graceful but it was a beautiful sight. She flew about a block before alighting in a tree.
Much less beautiful this morning was a toilet in the trash on the curb. The seat cover was down and featured a picture of Betty Boop. I instantly regretted not having my camera with me as I would have posted it here under the title Betty Poop.
Also of interest this morning. All the Obama posters that went up along 116th Street a few days ago were ripped in half or torn down. Vandals? Misguided Clinton supporters? Neighborhood anti-campaign poster vigilantes? I don't know. It should be noted that Obama posters way outnumber Clinton posters in the neighborhood.
