I'm soooo embarrassed! Duck, duck goose! - 07/17/06 10:39 AM
Oh dear. I don't have to worry about too many FOLC Manitobans seeing me on the news and laughing, so I'm going to express my embarrassment here!
There was a snow goose and about 40 white ducks by my apt yesterday. I live along a river in our downtown and it was an usual site. Usually we just see Canadian Geese and Mallards.
They unforutnately were not that afraid of people.
I fed them twice yesterday. Others did too. One lady brought water becasue it was very hot and no one saw them venture down to the water. She was interviewed too. It looked like the ducks and goose had not been in the water b/c they were so white and clean! The river water is muddy. By the end of the day they were turning grey with dirt.
One the second feeding the CKY news crew member for the city popped by. He interviewed me and boy do I look bad and I didn't have anything interesting to say. My husband is on there too. They didn't use his clip because he said, "All I want to know is where the h*ll they come from". Gee, very ... nice. Mr. Mild Mannered Underwriter couldn't think of a nicer word acceptable for dinner time TV viewing.
If I get around to finding a place to put pictures of the odd group of ducks, I'll put a link. My bird books does not have them listed and I have not had time to do an internet search. So, I don't know what the ducks were.
I really wish I knew where they came from!
Not only adding to my embarrassment I have to endure my co-workers singing me happy birthday this afternoon. I'm turning 29 today.
Gee and I thought I was loosing weight! hmmm...I hope that saying is true...something about the camera adds 10 lbs?
Hope your day isn't filled with any embarrassment.
