Food

A Costco grocery day today. A person's got to eat.

On the way to the car we stopped for a moment to look over the back court area. A large bird, that later Googling indicates is an "Egyptian goose," stood on the lawn. I approached while taking a video, hoping I might capture the interesting motions of it taking flight. As you will notice in the video below, this bird stood his ground well. 

In retrospect I am glad I discontinued my advance. As Wikipedia notes, "Both sexes are aggressively territorial." The bird's demeanor made me suspect as much. And I was wearing shorts. This is Florida and I expect to wear them often, preferably without the spectacle of goose bites all over my calves.

The Costco interlude provides no story other than they were offering turkeys at a surprisingly discounted price today moving us to buy one.  When it comes to fowl sometimes you lose sometimes you win.
