    Saw one of the biggest ducks in the world the other day

    My fiance and I ventured into Pittsburgh the other day to see the biggest duck on this side of the world. It's a giant replica of a rubber duck floating where the Ohio, Allegheny, and Monongahela Rivers meet in Pittsburgh. It is on display until Oct. 20th. across from Heinz Field (you can see it in the background in the water fountain picture). I felt out of place being in a big city, but it was interesting seeing the skyscrapers and the strange looking folks everywhere. I'm sure I was just as strange-looking to them. I wouldn't mind kayaking in this same spot.

    I also realized in this adventure why so many people in the city don't own cars: There's nowhere to park and it takes 30 minutes to drive just a couple of miles...

    Nice, but what kind of sound does it make when you give it a squeeze?

    I believe this one farts when it is squeezed and it turns the river into a giant jacuzzi.

    Affirmative. Camouflage doesn't work so well in the city, I found.

    at the park what are the barricades, behind you, for?
    While no one ever listens to me,
    I am constantly being told to be quiet.

    In a world of snowflakes,
    be the heat..

    I was wondering that myself. The only thing I could think of is they didn't want all the extra foot traffic wearing paths in the grass. There were tons of people there, and the duck has been there since the beginning of the month.
