The pelicans have disappeared. Nobody knows what happened to 28,000 pelicans that inhabit Chase Lake, which is in North Dakota. I was in North Dakota once ... 27 below zero ... pelicans aren't stupid, y'know.
And the duck population in North America is down 11 percent this year. Nobody knows what happened to 4 million ducks. My good friend, DT, said he was duck-hunting, though.
And for all you do-it-yourselfers out there, there's coloring you can add to concrete. I mixed some mason mix and matched the color to the bricks around the pool and did some patching of some bricks, which worked pretty well. I'll let you know what takes that coloring off human skin, but I have a feeling it will have to wear off.
