#birders saw one of my favorite birds today! These two turkey vultures are some of my favorite visitors because they eat up all the carrion that washes up on the shore. Patch, Redbull, and Sprite (Sprite wasn’t here today, just Patch and Redbull) are nature’s cleanup crew

When your relatives start arguing at Thanksgiving, calmly grab your favorite serving bowl of food like you're going to the kitchen to refill it, and just don't come back. Quietly escape with your favorite food.
