freeduck lifted my spirits when she wrote:Don't feel bad, Gus, I was a goner anyway. You set me free from the misery of having to hobble across a busy road with a broken leg. Also, I couldn't swim with that broken leg. And it was frightening to stay up all night wondering which predator was going to eat me first. It's much nicer up here in ducky heaven. No broken leg, giant pond, no cars
Thank you, freeduck. Now your name is indeed appropriate.
I'm scanning the skies right now. Part one of those duck clouds and wave to me.
