Whether they be friends, lovers, siblings, or intergenerational. In that sense, Holmes and Watson are my favorite fictional couple. They know everything there is to know about each other, and it's okay. They don't always agree, and sometimes they're estranged, but their true affection overcomes disagreements. They each want the other to be the best he can be. They are present in each other's lives.(less)

Turkey Drives

postcard of turkeys walking down a road

When I first encountered this 1907 Thanksgiving postcard, I thought it was a fanciful parade of turkeys. But the drawing is rooted in the reality of bringing turkeys to market.
