The flock of wild turkeys in our neighborhood became aggressive during the winter. It wasn't safe to get the mail without taking along some kind of weapon (nine iron, barbeque fork). The big toms would even chase cars. The flock has now thinned considerably, probably due to the opening of turkey season. In recent weeks we have seen only a few scared-looking lone turkeys here and there.

Unfortunately, as we look back at the turkey story, we realize that it really doesn't communicate the terror Rich felt each and every time he got the mail. Because there were times he was standing down by the mailbox, weapon in hand, wondering if he had the energy to run from the mailbox to the garage with the turkeys chasing him.
