“1:36 p.m. David reports that a co-worker pushed him”

Was the co-worker’s name Goliath? If so, I’d go ahead and just forgive and forget…

Dave, what are you doing at a construction site? And why is Becky picking on you?

Details at 11:

11: David was working on constructing his block castle when Becky came stomping through. Shoving ensued and Becky is now down for a nap.

Wait Cabbage, maybe it was because David was dancing naked before the lord that caused Becky to be so upset?

Just checked the Duck Cam and all appears fine - no missing ducklings waddling down I-90 towards CDA.

Toad; you have your Old Testament stories mixed up. David danced with all his might before the Lord but he stumbled when he saw Bathsheba naked on the rooftop next door.

In Spokane they would just run over the ducklings…….
Cabbage Boy on May 12 at 2:50 p.m.
I think that is when Solomon invented the shower curtain, right DFO?

Lewis, in Boston they would swerve… towards the ducks.
Liz on May 12 at 4:14 p.m.
no they wouldn’t in Boston…haven’t you read “Make way for Ducklings???”A classic.
perhaps we could get the Spokane rec department over here to detonate them, though.

on a different note: a dog eating a dead deer is newsworthy??? Ewwww…and then they go and try and lick you with that tongue. Yuck!

Also, in Boston they’re famous for their duckboat tours—amphibious vehicles that are enormous. I’d think most would be happy to take out any car trying to squash their namesake.
Liz on May 12 at 11:39 p.m.
they have those duckboats in Seattle too.
I’ve never actually been on one. They just scream “tourist”
Nick_Adams on May 13 at 12:16 a.m.
@Liz: Oh, c’mon. Sometimes it’s ok to lose yourself in the stereotype. I haven’t done the duckboat tours, but I’ve taken the tour of the Statue of Liberty, the USS Constitution, Catalina Island, Mayan pyramids, the Queen Mary and Spruce Goose (back when it was in Long Beach). When I lived in CDA, I certainly didn’t hold it against those folks touring the lake on the resort’s boats.

I figure anyone who’d judge me for being a “tourist” wouldn’t be anyone I’d really like much anyway.
