Home for the Holidays

 

It has to be very important for a wild turkey to take flight.  Their preference is to walk.  I believe it is the Thanksgiving holiday that has made them so skittish.

For the most part, it is the general decline of service that keeps me from flying.  Airports have become the bottleneck of travel.  A heavy blanket of suspicion covers the entire area, as everyone is looked upon as a criminal.  Individually filmed, scanned and patted down, we are funneled through a process that removes our shoes and belts and confiscates our fingernail clippers.

We are made to carry papers to prove who we are, where we live and by the way, what is the purpose of your visit?

 

“Thanksgiving.”


Why so skittish?

Agreed! Airports suck the fun right out of traveling! It is only for the young - like a very young child I saw riding on his mom's suitcase while she pulled him along while pushing a stroller!
