Its #OldRockDay and #WhimsicalWednesday!
A two foot inflatable duck propped against a wagon wheel and wooden fence. There is a bright green field behind it. The sky is solid, bright blue fading upwards to a darker blue. In the background, Chimney Rock is over the duck's head and next to the wagon wheel.

A two foot inflatable duck is nestled in the trunk of Pinkie, the life sized fiberglass pink elephant at a gas station in Deforest, Wisconsin. The elephant is wearing black glasses, in the style of Buddy Holly.

Merry Christmas!

I put your cards in the mail, but I think it was the wrong mailbox.

This is where I post from, if you even care.
A two foot inflatable duck sits at the base of a two story overlook. It is made of stone and designed to look like the tower of a castle. It is located in Madison county, Iowa, a mile hike from where one of the preserved bridges is from the movie Bridges of Madison County.

Took a bike ride in Sioux Falls to visit my friend David.

A two foot inflatable duck is wedged into a bright blue bicycle shaped bike rack. In the background is a replica of Michaelangelo's David statue, viewed from the side as the sun was directly behind the statue when I arrived at the park.

Happy #NationalSandwichDay

Who doesn't like a classic fried spam sandwich every once in a while.

Shout out to the gracious RAGBRAI participants who let me pose with their flag.
A flag promoting SPAM, in yellow font on a royal blue background, is affixed to the front of an RV. A two foot inflatable duck is being held next to it, the person holding it being cropped out.

The post office here was on the Nebraska Passport this year, but I didn't get a chance to go. Was actually considering going this weekend if I don't pick up a shift.

The links say this rabbit is in Wabasso, Minnesota, but I think I could use a rabbit friend.

Drop some hats
A two foot inflatable duck wearing a paper version of an old timey train conductor's hat. It is sitting in a replica train passenger seat. Painted in red on the orange wall behind it is the name of the restaurant in Kansas City: Fritz's.

That's how I felt running across the parking lot after taking this picture.
A clear blue sky over Chimney Rock in the distance. In the foreground, a 2 foot inflatable duck is propped up against a wagon wheel and wooden corral fence. Immediately after taking this photo, I grabbed the duck by the beak and made a mad dash to my car, Philip bouncing against my thigh. I am absolutely certain I looked ridiculous, and it is one of my most favorite memories.
