i believe today most real americans traveled to someplace else in the usa to get where they want to be to celebrate thanksgiving, tomorrow! as you know, most americans stuff a turkey and then bake it in the oven for several hours.
the above sign is somewhere close to plymouth, where the settlers first got off the mayflower into the new world in 1620, and the origin of the first thanksgiving, most likely (as you can read here). had never seen a turkey crossing sign before, so i took a picture while we drove by (i already missed the alligator sign in florida, and the "dont-pick-up-hitchhikers-this-is-an-active-prison-area" in new hampshire).
when i was back in europe in september, i was "shocked" by the small ovens people have there! after almost 3 years and lots of baking, i really got used to the big american oven (i guess its big because it has to fit an entire turkey once a year?!), and dont really see it as big anymore at all (unlike when we just got here), maybe i should bring one back to the netherlands.. (an oven, not a turkey!)

I know a few turkeys but they don't look a bit like the one on the sign:-) Happy Thanksgiving.
Really, I didn't know the ovens were so much bigger. I only thought the refrigerators had a bigger size.
I sometimes wish our ovens were a little smaller like the European ones, then we wouldn't need to take up counter space with the toaster/convection oven.
And I don't even like turkey...
Yes, you should bring an American oven back with you. AND, a turkey.
hahahha... i never made a turkey in the oven! too big and scary!
