Fort Myers Beach Turkey Days aren't good for Turkeys
What a boondoggle Thanksgiving is and isn't. 17 million Turkeys are MURDERED just to satisfy the blood lust of the American public. That is the opinion of the newcomer Vegans across the Canal so I thought to include their values into this column as a way to welcome them.
I prefer to believe that each and everyone of the Turkeys are 'harvested' humanely. As if there is a humane way to kill 17 million of anything. I could make a correlation to our American poultry farmers and the hated Nazis. I won't because I don't want to, even though the Vegans have made that comparison several times, recently.
They are a happy go lucky couple of ex-hippies who like to smoke dope and quote Buddha and Mao and Bob Dylan unless some one wears any kind of fur around them. They instantly turn into snarling junk yard dogs. They won't sit on leather furniture or drink milk or eat any animal flesh and no food can contain any animal bi-products like eggs, cheese or milk.
You might have guessed that Nick and May are native Californians who cashed in their State pensions and sold their modest little bungalow near San Francisco and moved to 'cheap' Florida, right across the 'Dead End Canal' from us. They have changed our way of living without really trying. No more cooking bacon on the grill because they mentioned that the odor was extremely offensive. They don't socialize with us and have declined membership into our beloved 'Dead End Canal Yacht Club.'
Run-aground Ralph is on a mission of sorts. Whenever the wind is right, he smokes a whole Pork shoulder on his dock. "Screw them, if I've got to smell that Marijuana, they can smell my meat or my feet," he says. We all think that if they tried to fit in we would accept them or at least meet them half way but I'm not going to give up my Thanksgiving Turkey treat.
We can talk about the sausage, bacon and eggs some other time.
