forwarded to me and I sent it many of you.
It involved some guy named Joel who watched ducks walk thru the business streets of some city.
Well today Karolyn and I were at the Park Ridge Library to listen to Jimmy Buffet type of music. It was part of a Sunday At The Library.
Lots of kid fun things to do. Games and balloons.
We're sitting down listening when we saw a little girl running after something.
When I looked closely it was a mother Duck with her 5 ducklings. They were walking toward a 6 way intersection.
So, being a quick thinking Hero type, I ran over there and as they hit the concrete street, I stopped traffic.
Yes, heroic Jim came to the rescue. It was cute as the cars stopped and folks started to take out their camera phones and give me tips on what I should do with MY friends.
Well, I followed them along a sidewalk when teens got alongside them. The ducks immediately turned and walked into the street and stopped under a car.
They started to move after 5 minutes toward the street. I shushed them back and told the folks to let them have the sidewalk to themselves.
Two older yuppy types joined me and I slowly slipped away back to the concert. Leaving the yuppies and ducks.
Unfortunately, the music ended just as I sat down in my chair. Karolyn and I both started laughing.
Sorry about the poor photos. But I'm not a super hero like Spiderman,
I'm just an everyday Hero. A protector of Ducks. A real Quack Hero.
