Turkeys In the Snow
Jan. 18th, 2026 05:16 pmYesterday was... demoralizing.
Quadfecta of Awfulness—winter at its White-Stuff-Falling-From-the-Sky most hideous, social isolation, financial insecurity, & Icky-&-the-Spawn general obnoxiousness.
Cue Talking Heads' Once In a Lifetime: This is not my beautiful wife!
But where is my beautiful wife?
Do I even have a beautiful wife?
Does everybody in the world have a beautiful wife except me-ee-eee?
I have a beautiful cat!
Two of them, in fact. Though Molly is not being camera-cooperative at present.

Short distance. To the Schlock office in Montgomery. Where I tried to make sense of Schlock's hideous, counterintuitive tax prep software. Which is considerably more confusing than the U.S. tax code.
Fortunately, I was the only person stupid enough to be driving on the seriously under-plowed roads.
So that when I saw wild turkeys roosting on a fence, I could stop to photograph them with full impunity:
