the Duck is gone

The Duck is gone. I always thought it might happen, but after standing guard across from our driveway the for 24 years I thought the Duck mailbox would stand forever, but now it is gone.

Someone who thought they needed it more than me took the Duck early Wednesday morning. My wife saw the car when she left for work but thought it was the newspaper delivery guy, but the paper was late that morning. All that is left is the post and two bent nails.

Please note the home made head is of a different thickness and coloration than the factory made feet and wings. The head was homemade hand painted and made after someone thought it a substitute for a baseball 4-5 years ago.

This isn't the first Duck mailbox we have had. The original sits retired in the shed after about a dozen years of exposure to the weather and being rearranged by the snow plow back when we had real winters.

Now it is gone. Drivers looking for Windy Hill Road be advised your are on your own the landmark is gone.

Any mother, wife or lover should be proud of her intrepid hunter bring home the Duck.

Anyone finding the Duck just drop it off at the end of the driveway at 268 Paddy Hollow Road here in Claremont, no questions asked.
