Weekend Open Comments Turkey Edition

And here I thought Washington DC was the Turkey Capital of the World.  Worthington, Minnesota. tries each year to lay claim to Turkey Capital but we all know because everything is bigger in Texas, well they just can’t be. God bless Cuero, Texas….

THE TURKEY CAPITAL OF THE WORLD

Turkeyfest is the latest iteration of a long line of turkey-related festivities in Cuero. The tradition dates back to the late 1800s, when local farmers would drive turkeys on foot across the countryside to sell at the market every autumn. The birds were presented to visiting buyers, slaughtered, processed, and shipped to arrive in northeastern cities in time for Thanksgiving—likely explaining why the festival has long been held in October, not November, as you might expect. The sight of thousands of turkeys parading down Main Street attracted crowds, and legend has it that one of the big-city turkey buyers admired the scene and made a remark along the lines of “You should do something with this,” planting the seed that an annual turkey drive could be a stand-alone attraction for the town. For the past fifty or so years, the Great Gobbler Gallop has played up a lighthearted rivalry between Cuero and Worthington, Minnesota. Both towns call themselves the Turkey Capital of the World; to settle the debate over who truly deserves the title and award bragging rights for the year to come, Worthington ships one of its turkeys to race a Cuero bird at Turkeyfest each year.

You will just have to RTWD Texas Monthly article to find out if CUERO has retained her title.

You mean Biden lied? That he pardoned his POS kid?

PS: Now that Hunter has immunity, can he be prevented from taking the Fifth in any related investigations that may pop up?

The Santa Clauses are all on display. I had to move a bunch of books, take my canned food items upstairs, and haul in the Santa tubs from the garage.

And I told Hubby I wasn’t going to work in the yard today so I wouldn’t strain my back.

We hit 24 degrees at 7 AM with a RealFeel rating of 16 degrees. We’re all the way back up to 26 right now and it’s cold in the kitchen. The windchill factor is strong for the next 7 days. No precipitation but the RealFeal temps are below freezing, mostly in the low 20s. It’s no time to be outside.

And I don’t like it one bit. 29 yesterday morning and it’ll be low 30’s Monday and Tuesday and back to 29 on Wednesday. Thankfully it’ll be low 40’s by Thursday.

All my life I rooted for Texas A&M whenever they played against anybody but Texas. However, I was against anyone who played against the Texas Longhorns.

Years ago, my second favorite teams for a very long time was the Pittsburgh Steelers. I rooted for them against anyone and everyone but the Houston Oilers.
