The great-great-grandma wore boots, a helmet and not much else, while atop a Harley-Davidson motorcycle parked behind the Atwood Acres Senior Housing Center in Townsend, Mass. "I was hanging onto the handle bars like I was riding the bike," she told the Boston Herald. "Just the top of me was bare. I felt great." The Golden Agers had planned doing a cookbook to raise money for the anniversary, until they rented "Calendar Girls," a movie about a group of older English women who made a nudie calendar for charity that was based on a true story.

Rodent found in Christmas turkey cavity SPRINGFIELD, Mass., Jan. 4 (UPI) -- After a Massachusetts woman found a rodent in the cavity of her Christmas turkey, she said she started thinking about becoming a vegetarian. Advertisement "I wanted it to be the little giblet bag but it was definitely a frozen mouse or rat," Valorie J. Macy told the Springfield (Mass.) Republican Tuesday. "I looked away and looked back, hoping it would be gone." Macy's son had brought the frozen turkey home as a gift from his employer, whom he has declined to name. But after she found the extra, she cooked a ham for her family for Christmas. But she ate only vegetables. "I don't think I'll ever eat turkey again," she said. "I'm thinking of becoming a vegetarian." The U.S. Department of Agriculture is investigating. Macy said the turkey had been shrink-wrapped in a Norbest Inc. package with netting around it. "I find it hard to believe," said Paul F. Reed, director of marketing for Norbest of Midvale, Utah. "Certainly if the product has been tampered with, we want to get to the bottom of it." Matthew Baun, of the USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service said no similar cases have been reported.
