We have them here too but they frown on us shooting them.
I've tried beheading one with a sword, but they run faster then I do.

I'm fortunate that it's not frowned upon here to have and to use a firearm

Can you afford one?
Fortunately I don't have to since we have free range organic turkeys in the yard.

I hope you realize that occasionally Amazon will use FedEx UPS and even the USPS to deliver for them.
It's not all self delivery yet.

Hello- is there any benefit one way or the other, in using an AC-powered external hard drive vs a portable usb-plug in drive? To be used at home for storage of new photo files since my C drive is almost full. Thanks!
I have always suggested that people have more than one backup for important pictures and at least one of them be off premises whether in the cloud or even a hard drive kept elsewhere.
This way you are protected against any type of failure and the off premises copy serves to protect you against the potential physical problems which can affect your home such as fire tornado or other disaster.
Most people don't think about this until the time they are actually seeing someone who is sifting through the debris that was the home and they come across the remains of an irreplaceable picture that is now ruined.

I like to contaminate the cranberry sauce with some fresh minced mint leaves or even dried mint if that's all that is available.

Gene Tracy was a comedian known for his series of Truck stop albums.
You can hear many of his albums which have been recorded and uploaded to YouTube just do a Google search for Gene Tracy.

This was just as funny when I heard Gene Tracy tell it.

Interesting side topic. A major downside of mirrorless cameras is how easy dust gets on the sensor. Thus I try to minimize changing my les in the field. Thus I might use a 24-70 range on my Sony A7R4 and use my Sony RX100 VII for the 70-180 range, if I need a longer reach. When I go to Iceland in December,if I am shooting while it is snowing, I am not going to want to change my lens.
The practical side of using two cameras.

Thanks for pointing that out since I occasionally change a lens in the field and I am getting my first mirrorless by Christmas.
I'm getting a Sony A7RII once again I'm going used and a couple generations old but for a third the cost of the current one.

You don't have to be rich to own a good Canon - there are heaps of bargains on the secondhand market. (Mainly from people who find their phones do a better job) 
While my phone has a higher megapixel count my Canon cameras take superior images.

Have bought all but one camera and two lenses used over a considerable period of time at great prices, always after they were a bit obsolete, but still excellent. Did the same with racing bicycles in other days. Your money goes a long way and you get great gear. I've been fortunate enough to be able to keep it all.
That is my case as well.
My bodies are a few generations old but still very good as are my best lenses.

I don't push his cause or any cause other than facts.
Fact is that Biden won the e******n which many on the right refuse to accept.
Also fact is that the left continues to point out Trump's shortcomings in a weak attempt to cover up the fact that Biden is proving to be not up to the task.
Personally I suspect that some of his backers were sure he would fail which can leave anyone else looking like an improvement.

Really a reading list of opinion pieces from left-of-center sources that have decided to call Trump followers a cult, adds little to the conversation. Especially since I've said that many Independent and Republicans have moved on. But it does show how Dems have not.
Not to mention that the articles were all written several months ago even though they are being used to attempt to show current reports, further proving that the Dems are refusing to move on.
