Turkeys and Eagles

The turkey is the loudest thing in the predawn hours. A “gobble” descriptor does not come close to capturing his overture. From the distant darkness, it’s no songbird tuning-in when the turkey lets loose his call. So much like the bird itself, it’s a big and a slightly comical noise, followed then by a long silence.

Cullen, the saboteurs — who had buried explosives in the dunes — were quickly reported, later arrested and eventually tried under the framework of the Alien Enemies Act. Yeah, that act. The same 1798 act under which the Trump administration is trying to disappear hundreds of Venezuelan migrants to a gulag in El Salvador. ... 6 May 2025 by Carlos Sandoval

In that 2005 tragedy, a 25-foot boat slammed into the Lieneck’s 24-foot boat — indeed, went over it and crashed down on it. The folks ... by Karl Grossman
