I went to the zoo this afternoon with a small group of Black Friday avoiders. It was a nice clear day in the 40s. Good to be out in the air, ambling around. The best parts included the near-fearless ducks, plain, ordinary mallards. They were on walkabout, away from the big ponds. They've gotten used to folks feeding them popcorn enough that they have hope in their hearts when they see ya sit down on a bench. then saw young baby about being ga-ga over the different animals it was seeing.
