San Jose is no place for wildlife. Why did the duckie cross the road? I'll tell you why. Today I saved a duck. It was trapped on the center divide of highway 87. I tried to lure her to me with peanut butter crackers, but she was too freaked. After 20 minutes or so there was a break in traffic for me to escort her to the other side where there was a field for her to hang out. I went to talk to the owner's of the pizza place and roller rink to finalize details for the party. Then I snuck in a little practice on the skates. I'm not too bad. It all kind of just came back to me... a bit like riding a bike.
