This was on my flight from Providence to  Baltimore last Tuesday afternoon:

Yes, it is a turkey.  It didn’t look frozen.  It was–obviously–not in a shopping bag.

It was carried by a man.  A man traveling by himself.   A man traveling by himself with his turkey.

Maybe he won it.
Maybe it was a gift.  A surprise goodbye present.
Surely there are no turkey shortages in the USA right now.

I was so glad I had my camera in my purse.  Because, really, how often do you see a turkey in the overhead bin?

I’ve seen people board planes with their styrofoam coolers filled with dry ice and live lobsters.  That’s pretty common in New England.

But a turkey?
