Turkey! from bens' parents window

I saw them! This is a picture of a few wild turkeys. Ironically we saw them on thanks giving. No eating allowed, they are protected :) I always confused turkeys with the other animal that puts his head under the soil. hmm that thing that can run really fast. But this year I finally found out what I had been eating for years. Oh well.

Another thing I learned. Yesterday was black Friday. The day after thanks giving where stores have up to 60% discounts on all items. Wal mart opened at 5 am! Target at 6 am. (You only get the deals for a few hours). Of course there was a women badly injured because the crowed stepped over and on her on the way to the cheap merchandise. And this coming Monday is Silver Monday. That's the day when everybody returns from work and shops online. Apparently most online sales are done from work because of the better Internet connection. So on Monday the deals will be online.

On Thursday (the real Turkey day) was the parade in NYC. Macy's sponsors these huge balloons (so big a couple of people have to hold them, there is even a guy guiding the balloon holders!). They even have wind measuring things on the street lamps so the pointy lamps don’t damage the balloons. But this year a huge balloon knocked over a street lamp, which then fell on 2 people who got badly injured!
