    A friend of mine played bass in an ’80s Boston band named Rods & Cones.

    Alright, pretty cool! 

    OK, so here's a more serious question: 
    Where have all the turkeys gone? (Long time passing?).
    We have seen them regularly on our walks, by the side of the road, and often in our own yard, Toms spreading tail feather or hens tending their chicks.  And all of the sudden... gone!  Where, oh where?

    Birds usually will follow a food source. So likely chasing after some seeds somewhere else.

    Same here, Brian. No clue where they disappeared to, but I have faith that they'll turn up again when it warms up a bit. Probably huddled up in their roosts most of the day, I'd guess, only moving to find sustenance. Wait, no, that's me in the winter.

    At any rate, I saw them year-round when I lived in warmer climates. I remember wild toms were trouble for our farm hens in Florida.

    I remember them. Used to get decent airplay on FNX and BCN.

    Brian, I hope you find answers to your questions in the middle of the night. 
    I often come up with great ideas and solutions to my problems in the middle of the night, but I can't remember a damn thing in the morning.
    My question is why is chocolate cake called devil's food cake, and does anyone actually know what the devil eats?

    All of God's beautiful creations have Devils names...  Devils Punch Bowl, Devils Tower, Devils Post Pile, Devils Playground, Devils hill and my personal favorite was a couch jump back in Masapequa, NY called Satan's Asshole.

    So yes there is Devil in heaven.

    25 years ago I would have hopped on my Haro and pedaled straight for Satan’s Asshole. Current me would just sit on it.
