Happy Friday!
This week ended a longtime saga involving an aggressive (or lonely?) turkey who became notorious for chasing people while jogging or walking to their cars on University of Michigan's North Campus.

North Campus Turkey -- who was also affectionately known as "Tom" and "Reggie" -- was put to rest on Monday after blocking traffic on Huron Parkway for the 1,435th time. The Ann Arbor Police Department called officers from the Michigan Department of Natural Resources and ... you can guess what happened next.
Needless to say, his antics will be missed.
Have a great weekend.
