I have been bingeing.

Not on food, alcohol or a new streaming series.

My poison of choice is a migraine.

Day 4 and it reads like a bad novel overflowing with sorrow, anger and pain.

I swam in iced cold water yesterday which provided 50 painless laps. Unfortunately, I eventually had to resurface.

I did learn two important lessons through my haze of blinding discomfort.

Are you aware that ducks have violent relations. The beloved mallards engage in some seriously disturbing mating behavior.

I was innocently suffering on my patio and suddenly all my senses were accosted.

The screams are horrifically disturbing and the assault drew a flock of ducks, other varieties of birds and egret bystanders all taking sides.

Interesting that the female ducks are relatively unattractive while the aggressors are all slick waterfowls (appropriately named).

Not to turn this into an R rated post, but did you know that unlike 97% of birds, ducks are among the best endowed of all vertebrates.

Let it not be said that you never learned anything from reading the Devil.

Point 2. While the female duck was sexually assaulted the mature women in this ‘hood have not outgrown middle school manners…bitch, bitch, bitch, hold grudges, gossip and at an age when they should know better these mature ladies are still mean girls.

Humans and Anatidaes please be nice.

As far as my migraine goes, it’s beyond time to duck and run.
