Ducklings! So cute.
So, how was your summer? Mine was fun. Saw some fish. Went mad with hunger. Hallucinated a whole bunch.

Vortex, possibly the answer is the one I use so often - "it seemed like a good idea at the time".
eta: maybe THEY thought they could fly?

God, ducks falling are the funniest thing ever.
Okay, the funniest was the last one, who bounced once and landed on his feet.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I just now realized it's cute overload and not cute overlord.
I liked it better when I thought the adorable fuzziness was taking over the planet.

Baby ducks are brave.
When you build duck boxes, you make them kind of tall above the water so that passing alligators and so forth can't get into them and eat the eggs or hatchlings. Similar principal for nesting in the tree, I guess. There's a short film (Flight of the Mergansers? Something like that) that documents one nests journey from egg to first flight, and ends with all the ducklings plummeting to the strains of Die Valkyrie. They landed in water, though.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I remember seeing that duck film. It was awesome.

I fixed the TV! I am genius!
(We were getting sound, but no picture. After a bunch of tinkering around, I figured out that the problem was that there was something wrong with the coaxial input on the TV. Switched the cable box - TV connection to S-video, and problem solved.) (The component input on the TV stopped working last year. It's my parents' setup. They're getting a new TV soon, but for now, just want to get this one working well enough to last them until then.) (Also, I was able to pull out about 10 superfluous cables, including three that were part of the wire tangle but weren't connected to anything on either end. No clue how those got there, but I plan to mock my dad about them.)

Well done, Hil! Getting rid of superfluous cables deserves some sort of medal.
I didn't actually see the duck film, just was told how awesome it was with very vivid descriptions.
