Long-Tail Ducks!
These ducks used to be called Old Squaws, due to the "tut-tut" sound they make.
However that became deemed derogatory and changed to the visually descriptive name instead.

Alan, how is Artist Daughter? Did you have a nice visit?
ReplyDeleteOK; there is always room for improvement in the affairs of human beings, but OK is good. Thanks for asking.

P.S.: The most fascinating duck I am aware of is the Steamer Duck [Click], of the Tierra del Fuego area. Winds are so strong there that flying is not a good way to get around, so they use their wings to aid swimming, with a circular motion that reminded 19th-Century observers of a paddle-wheel steamship.
Cool!!
Deletepuddle is expecting maybe a foot of snow, Mon-Tues. The storm will then come to visit me bringing 8-18" of snow, Tues-Weds. Winter's last gasp.
ReplyDeleteI have noticed a great change in the tenor of letters to the editor of our local newspaper--from a lot of right-wing nuttery to what I consider sensible, and indeed patriotic.

The following is a cut-and-past from a New Yorker article, which - quite frankly - I thought was too boring to foist on you. But here is the best paragraph:
ReplyDelete"The problem in Washington is not a Deep State; the problem is a shallow man—an untruthful, vain, vindictive, alarmingly erratic President. In order to pass fair and proper judgment, the public deserves a full airing of everything from Trump’s tax returns and business entanglements to an accounting of whether he has been, in some way, compromised. Journalists can, and will, do a lot. But the courts, law enforcement, and Congress—without fear or favor—are responsible for such an investigation. Only if government officials take to heart their designation as “public servants” will justice prevail. ♦"
I saw that too, Susan, and am thinking about how to work it into my last (for now) postcard. It's a good line.
