I just saw a wild turkey stroll across my parents' back yard.

Those things are big.

With all the rain out there lately, I'm surprised it wasn't trying to swim across the yard. :-)

Hee! My parents aren't in the serious flood zones. There was a bit to the south of them and a goodly bit in New Hampshire as well (NH lost a small town).

There are wild turkeys near some of the hiking trails I used to frequent, so I'm used to the size of 'em, but I truly didn't expect to see one in close-to-Rt.128-suburbia!

I'm glad you're not in the floody mess. Our friends up in Ipswich are having no fun getting around with 3 of the town's bridges closed.

Yep, and they're not the only ones. In California we flood more often, with less damage any individual time. We get a wet winter, we hear a hill fell down and took some billionaire's house, and we shake our heads, 'cause we knew when construction began that it would happen eventually. But here... here flooding is a very unusual thing, at least flooding of this magnitude.
