Today I headed up to the classiest Blarbuck's in town with Admin-bot 2 to get some chai. Why the hell not, right? As we were cutting across the gas station towards the entrance I noticed a bright yellow car at one of the pumps. Other than having leapt straight out the 70's, the car itself wasn't all that eye-catching. What made it memorable was the well-fed duck sitting on the hood of the car, preening happily. As we entered the building, I turned back in time to see the duck's owner, who had apparently leapt straight out of the 70's with her car, pick the duck up and kiss it on the head before depositing it in the car. It was awesome. It was just like letting a dog out to sniff around during a road trip. Seeing my mystified smile, Admin-bot 2 informed me that the duo frequents that particular Blarbuck's regularly, and that the duck normally waits just outside the door while its owner is inside.
Good thing of the day: Chubby pet duck.
