Things you don’t see every day…

For those of you who don’t know, Chez Kasia is in an inner-ring eastern suburb of the city of Detroit. I work in the city proper, just north of Grand Boulevard. So most mornings I take I-94 to work. On the many mornings when 94 is backed up, I usually take Harper. This morning 94 was pretty clear up until Conner, so I hopped off at Conner and jogged up to Harper, which I took until it goes all wonky by the GM plant (I’m not sure whether it’s still Harper there or whether it turns into Grand). Then I turned left on Milwaukee to get over to Woodward.
Would you believe I nearly hit an Eastern wild turkey that had decided to cross Milwaukee right there by the train tracks?
No, I’m not kidding. This is a great opportunity for me to play with the photo feature of this software, which I haven’t yet mastered…
It looked just like this:
At least you didn’t hit a DEER, like my poor baby bro did. He was driving so carefully in the areas with half-finished developments in the suburbs, then he went around a curve on I-75 and there it was.
So I’ll ask you what I asked him, “Was it wearing gang colours and carrying weapon? ‘Cause then it’s self-defense.”
