Mr. Carlson from WKRP was right! In 2018, I was stopped on a road waiting for a rafter of turkeys ( about 20 of them ) to cross. I managed to get some pics of one in flight.
I'd seen them fly before, but only over roads and not much higher than the roofs of vehicles.

The first one I bought was Superman #252. It was a giant-sized edition with reprint stories that included other heroes. The first normal Superman comic I bought was #257.

Kim got a good photo of a bluejay flying away with a peanut. We didn't even know they liked peanuts until we put some out for the squirrels. #birdphotography

Here's Ollie ... the under-the-couch photo is from about ten minutes ago. The other one is a pic of him on my lap as I was starting the work day.

I finally found an inexpensive copy of the DDJ Toolbook of Forth (1986/1987). I'd read some of the articles collected from DDJ, but not all. I like having them in one compendium. #forth #programming #retrocomputing
