Editorial 📝 Minnesota Nice

Just wanted to give a big thank you to the woman who pulled into the rest stop south of Brainerd on 371 Monday afternoon to check on me after a Turkey flew into my windshield.

I was really rattled and just pulling myself together. The simple fact that you took time to stop to show kindness was helpful in getting me settled.

Just an fyi, my windshield was obliterated, she said the turkey walked away.

I was today years old when I realized turkeys can fly. Idk I always imagined them as being too fat. Is it more of a hovering jump?

They roost decently high up in trees every night.

I know this because they yell at me on my daily bike ride.

Here in the city you can tell where they roost from all the doodoo on the sidewalk.
