Turkey Trot
I was running this morning at a park near my home. It has wooded trails that serpentines through a ravine and is very tranquil. Today was crisp and I was feeling strong.
As I rounded a turn I surprised two turkeys who where feeding. They trotted off over a rise. I smiled and started up. To my amazement when I crested the hill, they were still ahead and again trotted off around the next bend. This continued for about 20 minutes. It got funnier and funnier with each shocked reaction by the turkeys.
Was it funny because the turkeys were not expecting me or that I was expecting them?
