College Happenings

Ealier this week a skunk ( I think) took my duck Gary and killed him. Gary’s wife was devestated. She kept walking around the house crying. Her quack was different, quieter. She would lay in front of our door and look terribly depressed.

Knowing that ducks have to have a partner I called my friend Brad, who has lots of ducks, to see if he would take her.

He said yes.

So this morning Chris and I took her over to Brad’s place. He has a huge pond and she was happy about that right away. Then a big boy duck came swimming over and jumped on top of her. He didn’t waste any time with small talk. He stayed on her forever, untill I thought she was going to drown. I know that is how ducks do it, but he was little out of control I thought. So when they got close to shore Chris pushed the boy duck off of Gary’s wife.

Then she got to eat and swim around and started making happy sounds. The boy duck started talking to her and she decided to follow him.

I am sad that we have no more ducks, but I am happy that she has a nice new home.

How come we choose from just two people to run for
president and over fifty for Miss America?
