In other news - I took a walk with Dad yesterday during a break in the rain. We walked along the little creek that cuts N/S across the neighborhood just east of my parents' house. We saw five mallards - two girls and three boys. We are guessing that courting time is over, since the odd drake out couldn't get any action from the girls nor a fight from the boys.
Dad and I also played trains last night. That was fun too.
