I fired off a bottle rocket off the front deck to get rid of a pair of ducks today. Apparently the sound has bad autumn memories for them. grin The last time they showed up the wife and I got swimmer's itch (Duck itch) really bad when we went swimming in the pond. Ain't going to happen again.


Yeah, I guess I can see the point about not making roadway travelers nervous! I recall when you guys had the duck itch thing happen - think that may have been right around the time I joined the forum. Stay vigilant!
