I am emotionally invested in a duckful flood.
Last time the river between our offices and Fashion Valley flooded, there were ducks swimming across the road. I love ducks! This time, however, the current is too strong and the ducks are too smart to be out in this weather. Wendy and I went to check it out, and to watch people (who are apparently less smart than ducks) try to traverse either road, only to finally honor the blockades and flip a U.
I love the rain, but I do wish it would soak in. And, as long as I am wishing, more ducks, please!
