Speech Duck

I spent most of the day tinkering with my presentation "The Audience Is Part Of The Presentation" to SPEAKOUT, and in the end was satisfied with the result. It was, however, quite different from what I had started with. There's a lesson there, I suppose. I am going to give it again to 832, because the message is important.
I got a message confirming my Social Security application. Iacta Alea Est!
At the end of the morning walk, I saw a duck in a tree.

Normally I might assume this was part of the effort to put out stuffed animals for children to see as they went around the neighborhood, but in this case - it's the purple house next to Hannah and Julies's - I think the neighbor just likes to decorate.
