Anytime I see a new place I take in every detail
I like motorcycles. All motorcycles. Small, large, any brand from Aprilia to Zero. I like the way they sound, whether it's a little two stroke Vespa or a ratty old Shovelhead or a six-cylinder Goldwing. They're just so cool. And there are so many different engine configurations. Singles, parallel twins with 360, 270, or 180 degree cranks, V-Twins in several different angles and different crank splits, three bangers, four cylinders, even some with inline six or flat six engines. Just an entire mechanical symphony.
I like quiet bikes. I like loud bikes. I like electric bikes. Quiet ADV bikes, thundering cruisers, thumpy dual sports, screamy sport bikes, they're all so cool.
My neighbors have a turkey. Every time I walk through the kitchen I look out the window to see if she's in our yard. If so, I run out to pet her.
Also, if I'm working outside she trots over to see what's going on and, of course, I have to stop to pet her for 15 minutes.
She just walks up to me and sits down expecting pets.
Do you play an instrument? Or just own a flute or harmonica? The turkeys at my wife's uncle's place LOVE music, they even sing along. Gobbelgobbelgobbel. Hilarious! There's a German word,"Truthanschottigkeit" - it means the sudden urge to play the bagpipes for a turkey. ...nah, there isn't, but would be nice if there were, right?!
That sounds fantastic.
I don't know why it's so fun, but my day gets better every time I get to pet a turkey.
Let's see if this uploads... It's a picture of her after 10 minutes of pets
Edit: may look creepy, but she seems to be so comfortable that she'll close her eyes and just chill. But I'm no turkey scientist. I imagine if she didn't like it then she wouldn't run up to me.
Passenger cars. Interestingly, I was always fascinated by them as a child, but as I grew older, my interest faded away. Many adults seem to disregard trains, perceiving them as solely for adults, which I find quite perplexing.
However, my recent trip to observe them was unexpectedly delightful. It's astonishing to see that among the numerous cars, only a small fraction, around 10%, display Amazon or Walmart logos, while the majority are diverse and unique. The engines were a bit disappointing, though.
