Where did that beaver come from?

I emailed the link to my daughter. Her husband is a rubber ducky maven.

Of course, my questions are: 1. Why didn’t someone think of this before, and 2. How many ducks and friends will be left for the final count, and 3. Will the ocean currents bring them back around to their starting point?

“Breaker, breaker!”

“Rubber Duck here. Looks like we’ve got ourselves a convoy!”

Wooden you like to know.

Interesting story, thanks.

“Cool story and you sometimes have sea containers bobbing around...”

A few weeks ago a wheeled, enclosed trailer showed up on the shores of Western Canada. It was from Japan (tsunami debris). Inside was a Harley Davidson motorcycle - pretty much trashed of course. Someone tracked down the owner, and HD is going to rebuild the bike (for free) and ship it back to the owner!

I thought it wuz, “Hey! Pigpen! This here’s the Rubber Duck! Looks like we got us a CON-voy!” What a movie!

They must have been quacking up with all the info they were gandering.

I shall weight and sea.

Sorry this story isn’t Current.

Shouldn’t all or most of the ducks be trapped in the Pacific dead zone the enviros have been whining about?

[SunkenCiv]

Thanks brityank.

The Current is such a life-saver...

Life is such a Blessing for us all....
