OT: Bertha Is Back - Thankfully!

Thank You for the GREAT Photos, Roger -

They remind me that we all have much to be thankful for!

Bertha, for example, is probably thankful that she has a good home to come home to, a fan who is not TOO intrusive, and that she is not a turkey.   She's probably thankful that she and Bert are our National Birds, as well.   IIRC Benjamin Franklin was an advocate for the clever Turkey to be our national bird - the WILD Turkey, that is - not the overstuffed butter-ball domestic turkey of today.  Imagine if Ben had succeeded - Roger would be out in the woods stalking turkeys with his drone, and most of the rest of us would be sitting at home dining gobbling on short, fat - and probably flightless - Bald Eagles.

I, for one, am also thankful that Roosso - so far, at least - has taken the day off, and we don't have to worry about about any of our local locos being tinted green nor any of us being subjected to even reading - much less listening to - the latest lyrics from a mind that was drained long ago.*

p.s.  IIRC, it's also Guru Nanak's birthday today - at least this side of the International Date Line.
