I hope I make it to 2025 to post astronomy articles. My greatest fear is being attacked by ducks and right now they are gathering just off the beach of the lake I live on. They are just swimming back and forth looking at me through my kitchen window, staring at my throat. Their beaks look really sharp. There are mottled ducks and wood ducks (those are the worst). There are lots of them. I think the outdoor writers call that a herd. And they are big. All of them together would weigh more than ten boxes. Wish me luck.
