The longest I've seen them fly was ~600 yards. Three turkeys crossed the end of a small lake where our cottage is and my brother and I watched them fly from the cliffs on the other side to a stand of trees in the woods about 70 yards from the shore, behind us.We both had hunted turkey and were familiar with their nocturnal tree roosting and their limited flight capabilities - one scouting method is to get to the tree line edge of a field they use well before dawn and sit still. Before dawn you will hear what sounds like someone dropping bowling balls out of the trees which crash through and break the branches on the way down. Those are turkeys getting off roost and down to the ground.
But neither of us imagined they could go that distance. They looked like flying bowling balls with stubby wings flapping furiously to keep them aloft.They are not elegant fliers to say the least.
Oh, thanks, I didn’t realize that. I’ve had a couple acquaintances who had stone fruit allergies and at least one avoided avocados, but I guess they probably just avoided anything with a pit out of an abundance of caution.
I think by the time you've passed through the doors of Chipotle you've already encountered the horror. California has some amazing non-franchised Mexican restaurants.
Anyway, just ask for double jalapeños and you won't miss the avocados.
I don't think anything will convince people who make up their minds first and look for evidence afterwards to change their minds. They genuinely can't see the evidence.
I love Avocado Mom's tongue stud.
When their teenage boy's balls fall off contracting mumps, they'll blame the schools or government.
When their daughters contract rubella while they are pregnant and force a miscarriage.. same.
I bet she pays $50 a pound for anything Whole Foods slaps "artisan" on and thinks she's saving the planet by doing so.
My biblically baptismally name is Karen. WHO DO I SUE!!!!!111????
We need to comfort The Onion.

Wow, you encapsulated my entire rant in two words. Virtual blackface. Thank you! I'll remember that one.
