a thanksgiving observation from the past

i remember one day i was driving home on 71 south after a shift working at the ebay store in columbus, mid-november about 6 or 7 years ago and the weather was horrendous, probably in the low teens, with the wind-chill even lower.  i remember the brutal cold distinctly because i forgot my gloves that day, and had to clean the snow and ice off of my car with my bare hands.

the roads were snowy, traffic was slower, but not awful, and i was in the left-most passing lane when i came upon a semi-truck with an odd-looking trailer.  it was all metal, but had a series of compartments, with holes running length-wise, exposed to the weather.  it was the first time i had ever seen one like it.

as i passed the truck, i noticed that inside each tiny compartment, there were multiple, live turkeys jammed together, screeching.
