We Won't Be Starving

Last-minute Thanksgiving shoppers could find everything in stock at Costco today.

In fact there's a surfeit, glut, abundance, plethora and every other synonym for surplus, of turkeys at 99 cents a pound.

I meant to buy a 12-pounder last Friday but only a 20-pound bird was in the display. Spooked by reports of food shortages, I grabbed the tom.

It does not require a crystal ball to envision lots of turkey a la king and turkey sandwiches in the near future.
