Weather for ducks?

So this morning was a little dreary- it had been raining a lot of the night and was still raining pretty good when I got to work. I got on the elevator with a co-worker, and she says something like how about this weather? It's great for the ducks! I kind of chuckled, because I know this woman likes ducks and has mentioned ducks on occasion before. So then about 45 minutes later my boss gets to work, and one of the first things she says is "Great weather for ducks, huh?" I turned around and said you're kidding me, Sonja said that to me on the elevator this morning, I don't get it. Well about 10 minutes later my boss's husband comes in the office and says the exact same thing- this is great weather for ducks! Well I've just never heard of this before, do ducks have a partiality for rain? I never thought so. Ducks never would have even crossed my mind on this rainy day, and yet three people completely independent of each other today commented that the rain was great weather for ducks.

Weird, I tell ya.

Today when I was at the drive-through bank, the car next to me had a ginormous dog in it. He took up the entire back seat, and I really think was bigger than the woman driving the car. Yikes, the thought of just being on the same side of the street as that dog gets me all panicky, not to mention being trapped in a car with it! Once I was waiting for an elevator, and there was this guy there also waiting for the elevator with his humoungous dog who, by the way, was a little bit hyper. And then he was surprised when I wouldn't get on the elevator with him. He tried to reassure me that he was in control and it was no big deal. He didn't seem to realize that being trapped in a small 6x3 box with a dog half my size is pretty much my worse nightmare.

Tip o' the day: People like their dogs. I get that. Just keep it away from me. It's not too much to ask.
