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?

“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!

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