oh I LOVE wild city turkeys — though I guess if this is in Boston it’s a bit out of the way. Still. Good good birds.

So many rocks on his grave. From Brendon? How often does he visit? From someone else? But who?

In reply to Purplefelix.

Does your dad have flowers or a tree growing next to him? Treasure his memory, but the body comes, then it goes.
Keep in mind the turkeys and deer are meaning NO disrespect.
It’s just a little reminder that everything, and that means literally EVERYTHING, gets recycled.
You and I are Star-Stuff. Know Peace.

Those turkeys are so fabulous they almost look like pheasants :) Reminds me of how the cemetery my dad’s buried in has a whole bunch of wild turkeys and deer that graze and poop over everything

I wondered if we’d ever see Organic-Al’s grave.

P.S. This Jewish reader at least is squee-ing a bit over how well-done the background cultural research is. I don’t know whether this is true of other minority groups, but from a religious standpoint it’s really easy to become accustomed to representation being either a) absent, b) superficial, c) clumsy or full of stereotypes, and/or d) overstated gratuitously in a way that suggests wanting to preach diversity more than truly capture it. OHS is a lovely example of none of the above; like non-fictional people, the characters just happen to come from a range of backgrounds and act and think accordingly. Kudos.
