To those of you who might occasionally still visit this site and care the duck is alive and well and thriving in Baja California, Mexico.

To those of you who had hoped that this long hiatus was indicative of the ducks demise or perhaps quackup - no comment - that alone is a miracle.

After enjoying a lengthy period of misanthropic isolation I will sometime in the future email the few people who I consider worth the effort. It may be soon perhaps not so soon, even I don't know, therefore "IT WILL BE WHEN IT WILL BE"

TOP OF MY HEAD I WOULD EXPECT THAT A SENSITIVE AND SPECIAL YOUNG MAN IN AUSTRAILIA, A VERY OUTSPOKEN AND CARING MOM FROM UTAH WHO LIKE THE DUCK HAS ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS BEEN KNOWN TO VERBALIZE PRIOR TO CONTEMPLATING THE CONSEQUENCES WHEN IMBICILLES WITH AN INTELLIGENT QUOTIENT SOMEWHAT LESS THEN AN AMOEBA ATTEMPT TO INTERPRET HER COMMENTS AND REACT INAPPROPRIATELY PROVING THE MORONIC NATURE OF A GREAT PORTION OF HUMANITY -

AND NOT NECESSARILY LAST AND MOST DEFINITELY NOT LEAST MY FRIEND AND A WONDERFUL CARING LADY FROM GERMANY WHO UNLIKE THE DUCK HAS RARELY IF EVER SPOKEN WITHOUT THINKING, WHOSE VERY RARE NEGATIVE COMMENTS HAVE BEEN RESERVED FOR GENOCIDAL MANIACS AND DESPOTS ONE OF WHICH STILL LEADS THE NATION OF MY BIRTH BUT A NATION I DISOWN UNTIL IT RETURNS TO SANITY. I HAVE AT TIMES THOUGHT SHE COULD BE AN INCARNATE OF "GANDHI".

Why I just didn't email the few I care about instead of posting this message (I don't know - duck shrugs his wings / shoulders) what can I say everything seems like such a chore until I actually do it and of course why do today what can be put off until tomorrow! Perhaps it is because once I post this I shall feel obligated to do what I have put off for so long and eventually the guilt will motivate me to fulfill what I should have done long long ago -

Somehow, someway to those mentioned, I shall dig deep and find the motivation and energy for at least some sort of communication - I would say don't expect my past verbosity but then again this message is perhaps 10 times what I initally expected to post so there!! 

BE GOOD AND BE HAPPY BECAUSE HAPPY IS GOOD the closest I have been able to accomplish that is to IGNORE as much as possible the 90+% of humanity which wallows in it's barbarism and ignorance.

I posted the above without reviewing the board believing that the last post was from Nov of last year - just now read the replies to that message and guess some of you have been dropping by looking for a wayward duck -

Clay I did receive the sad news about Gene and I shall most definitely attempt to update you and Trevor/TJ as you guys were included in the "not necessarilly last" of my post - as stated though this post was only made on a spur of the moment and hopefully I will be similarily motivated in the near future to write but truthfully as Alie understands sometimes even the simplist things just seem to require an enormous if not impossible effort but be assured I will try
and soon.

quck quck ooops i meant quack quack
