The hint no one caught

I found this to be stunning.

And no one caught it.

Whew! I thought it was a complete give-away.

It started on July 7.

Wanted to show one of the ... um ... more interesting photos taken by the editor of our local paper during our fireworks celebration on Independence Day.



Okay...so now that you know what's what for '06 ...

... do you get it?

Look carefully.

Squint a bit.

Maybe tilt your head.

No -- the other way!

A bit more ... a little more ...

Okay, I'll do it for you.



There! Looks just like a turkey, doesn't it?

Okay ... well ... an exploding turkey. But a turkey nonetheless.

Right?

Is this a sign?

A message of some sort?

What does this mean?

When I discovered this on July 7, I just couldn't keep it to myself. I forwarded the photo to Will, Mrs. Koch, and our directors.

The sole response to that email: Paula, you really need a vacation.
