they can certainly fly up a tree or on the top of two story house. This gaggle was across the street.

Oh ok, The WKRP Thing. Well have you ever heard of the Turkey Drop in Yellville Ark?

I'm at war with them. Scratched the heck out of my Vette a few years ago. I think they had a party on it.

In contrast, the fox just left muddy footprints.

They sure have. I retired in 2014 after 35 years and they had started to get much smaller. I was there when they first came out. They were the size of a clipboard and if you swung them just right you could catch a dog about to bite you right up side the head.

I'm a retired HR Manager and have worked all over the Central U.S. I like to know you are wearing your seat belt because it never was fun going to funeral homes when we had drivers who didn't wear them. The bulkhead door is also a pet peeve because I've seen several drivers through the years get injured when they had to slam on the brakes and the packages come flying into the cab area hitting them.

To be fair, I was always telling Package Division Managers to be careful how they used that technology. It is useful on about 2% of the drivers who don't use the methods IMHO.

Oh yeah the diads have come a long way. Stupid to not use a seatbelt. And I have been known to not close my bulkhead door in the past.
but now with the new key fobs doors are always closed.
