HMB Review Feb 14th paper ran a picture on page 6A called “Duck and Cover”, stating “This duck had nothing to complain about in the recent spate of wet weather on the coast. Neighbors near the intersection of Filbert Street and Highway 1 say the duck was one of a pair that took to the puddle when rain started last week.”

I drive by this puddle everyday and thought I would drive by today to see if the ducks were still there (I had a big clue as to why they might be). See if you can figure it out too!

Hmmm. Just like everything else in HMB. A nice looking natural facade that hides a true plastic soul.
