It's not just the president's address anymore.
It's also the number of seasonal employees we're gearing up to hire.
Brandon is working on a Seasonal Employee Transportation program, designed for folks who would be able to work here if only there was transportation.
Living in the country can be charming. But there are the little things, such as public transportation, that are missed.
Once Brandon has this bus transportation thing figured out, maybe he can start working on a subway system.
Or a shoe store.

Birds of a feather
Will and his son, William, took a chilly first ride on the Turkey Whirl.

Seven frozen birds
Here's the other truck, loaded with Turkey Whirl pieces.
That first piece coming off the truck looks cold.
Wondering if those guys are all daring each other to touch their tongue to it,
a la Schwartz and the flagpole in The Christmas Story.
Matt, our controller, can't wait to ride. The longer the better, he says. Plucky fellow, our Matt.

Cold Turkey
"I just looked out my window and a bunch of turkeys drove by!"
Laura is office manager for our county visitors bureau. She's worked in Santa Claus long enough that she knows not to get her feathers ruffled when she sees unusual vehicles drive by her window.
Here's the latest crazy truckload:
Rachel dashed out to take some photos.
She was concerned the workmen who accompanied the birds were miserably cold. Will reminded her that they're from Minnesota, so this is shirtsleeve weather for them!
The turkeys look happy to be here.
Thanks to John for the subject line of this post. He zipped off that quip during yesterday's staff
meeting and we all groaned appropriately. I must say we were all impressed our Chicago boy could rise out of his depression long enough for a chuckle.
