WHY DID THE PEACOCK CROSS THE ROAD?

Darned if I know. On my way to dinner Friday night, we were stopped in the road by three peacocks--two blue/green, one white strolling across the highway along the shores of Lake Winnebago. At first I thought they were geese, or pheasants. Nope. Obviously escapees from a hobby farm, but considering the ways speed down the road, they are on their way to being beautiful roadkill.
