JSS: Strange Objects in Yard-- Big Twenty for RMD

JSS-- Just Some Stuff


1. STRANGE OBJECTS IN YARD-- This morning, shortly after daylight, I looked out into our backyard and saw two strange things on the ground. Look as I might, I just couldn't make them out. Were they some garbage that had blown over? One looked a little like a bunny rabbit, the other a bit like a bunny, but with something dark by it.

THEN, THEY MOVED. It was a pair of mallard ducks. We're a bit far from the nearest water. However, a mama mallard has had clutches of peepers in the yard several times over the last few years. We've frightened each other several times when I first find her nest. Then, I stay away as much a possible.

I find the broken eggs and no babies. Not sure how they get to water, but hope they get to water, somehow.


2. BIG TWENTY FOR RMD-- Heard on WBBM-AM this morning that Chicago's Mayor, Richard M. Daley, has been in that position for twenty years now. That's getting up to his dad's (Richard J. Daley) numbers.

Wonder if he will find a way to put a tax on his tenure. Seems like he's found taxing on everything else. And, we're not even going to get into parking in that town.

What a Rip-Off. --RoadDog
