Spent the morning at the Catholic Charities Mission picking turkeys, a lot of turkeys. Upon attacking the first half, I thought to myself that this would be a difficult mission--a vegetarian resisting the deliciousness of this golden bird. If you've ever done this kind of work, you will not be surprised that by the end I had (once again) sworn off poultry forever. Do they have a 12-step program in a chocolate factory? Finally, after a surprise one-last-pan of arms and legs, I called it a day. Told the nice lady she was on her own with the necks. And (yay!) they invited me back tomorrow to wash dishes.
If you are wondering why I go on and on (and on) about the wonderfulness of the heated seat and back cushion in my car, this is it. After standing for four hours and working at a counter which is just a bit low for my towering frame, my back was SORE! A seat-heated drive around town afterwards to run errands was just what the doctor ordered. So the moral of this story could be: I just volunteer to justify the amenities of my privileged life.
Anyhoo, here's my bird...and fellow volunteers Janna and Whitney. I'm guessing we picked twelve birds.

"I volunteer to justify the amenities of my privileged life." What a wonderful line! You were fairly adamant about that heated seat package when you got the car!! But I'm with you; some days just call for turning on the heat and letting the sore back soak it in!
