Janet,
 Thanks for the smile this morning; truely funny stuff!
 
Speaking of a "hundredweight of Turkey Vultures" I think that's about what  I 
saw this morning, just a short while ago as I took Peanut  out for his 
morning  constitutional. The approaching storm (and associated clouds) were coming 
on  strong, and just ahead of it was a huge number of swirling TV's (no Blacks, 
 though). There were easily over 75 birds, in about 3 different groups, 
moving  high and low but steadily SE. I saw a single high flying gull above them,  
unidentifiable in the rain and clouds, but the whole thing made for quite a  
spectacle!

Happy Thanksgiving everybody!
