Today is Rubber Ducky Day, I don't know the history behind this and not sure if I want to but I thought it was worth mentioning.

Today is Rubber Ducky Day, I don't know the history behind this and not sure if I want to but I thought it was worth mentioning.

History of Rubber Duckie Day
The History of the Rubber Duckie, at least its origins, are lost to the mists of time, but what is known is that they first appeared prior to World War I, and were actually shaped like a broad variety of animals. Rubber Duckies were just the most popular of the varieties. During the era of the World Wars, rubber was too valuable a commodity to be used on simple toys, so plastic and vinyl began to be used.
Landon Smart Lawrence was the first to patent a design for these illustrious toys, specifically the variety that was weighted so that, while still buoyant, it would always stand up the right way in the water. While it was a patent for a broad variety of toys, it was the duck that was included in the design. Rubber Duckies also have the distinction of being one of only 53 toys that are included in the Toy Hall of Fame, first established in 2013.
How to Celebrate Rubber Duckie Day
So how does one celebrate Rubber Duckie Day? Well first off, you filthy animal, take a bath with your favorite duckie toy! There are hundreds of varieties out there, ranging from pirate duckies to devil duckies, and everything in between. You can use #RubberDuckyDay to denote it in your social media posts, and maybe take in some of your favorite episodes of Sesame Street to remember that age old song about Rubber Duckies.
If you’re feeling particularly ambitious, you can even get together with some of the true fans of the rubber ducky at conventions all over the US, or even establish one yourself if there isn’t one close to you. You may feel silly at first, but you’d be amazed how many people are eager to share their collection, and their stories of some of the most precious moments of childhood, and the duckie that made it all special. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/rubber-duckie-day/

Thanks SP, I wish it was a national holiday so we could have a four day weekend!

Good morning.

Good morning BN. Anyone superstitious?

I'm not. I started playing softball when I was 19, I played every year but one until I was 55. I was #13 all but 2 of those years.

Afternoon BN.

Hmm. Did Jason pay a visit today? It's a bit too quiet around here.

Saw 4 gators in the state park today. That's unusual this time of year, but so is 75 degrees.

Unusually warm for there? It got up to 65 yesterday here. Had to shed 2 layers off down to my tee while walking.

We had a couple of days in the 70s last week, then it was 25 Saturday and 19 Sunday morning. Normal for this time of year is low-mid 50s.

Hiya Nancy! What did you expect temperature wise. You moved to Maine.

It's been weirdly mild. There is no snow on the ground. But definitely cold and windy. Loving it though. Definitely a good move.

I don't know what Wordfence is so I'll have to say that's never happened to me.

Don't see it every time. Weird. Been popping up the last few weeks.

No security messages here. They know I'm harmless

I'm not superstitious but will admit that we get busy and/or weird calls during a full moon.
Well with the full moon being last night, today being Fri 13th and we were short staffed both days due to cold/flu going around, lets just say I'm a tired puppy and fully enjoying some beers tonight!
