It's not their fault that they have to work in it.

Originally Posted by BLACKBOX I used my UPS tote for a very humanitarian purpose. As I was just entering a highway on-ramp I noticed a duck with ducklings trying to cross this very busy stretch of highway.

I looked at where these ducks where headed and noticed a small pond with a grassy area across this 4 lane highway. As I waited for a break in traffic, a motorcycle cop pulled up with his flashers. I tipped the tote to show him what was inside.
He immediately stopped all traffic and allowed me to run across the highway and deposit them near the pond. I did and ran back to my PC. The cop gave me a nod like to say "well done".
As, I was heading back to the center (hours later) I happened to take an elevated highway that looks over this pond and green space. To my surprise all traffic was again stopped and this mother duck was leading her troops across the same highway.
All I could say was......stupid ducks! | You took em to the wrong side of the road. |

At least we would get something in return for all of our tax dollars being used to compete against us. As far as forever bags, they are a lot better then the plastic smalls bags they forced us to use. Remember "smaller then your diad, then its a small". |
