Family, I ask of those who pray to pray with me. Things are really bad at home. 2 hrs no electricity. Sister said the winds pounded fearlessly for hour and half. Rain has not stand 2 major rivers in my town are overflowing, meaning lots of flooding. Bad if ground gets saturated,it will not hold in high places. Back in the 80's when I was a PO it happened it was hard to search and recover bodies and body parts. Thank you. You guys is all I have left.

We went to the Michigan Irish Music Festival yesterday. I got to hear my favorite band, Crossbow, sing one of my favorite of their songs, Bottom of the River. Then later, I saw the singer and was able to tell her how much I enjoy her singing, especially that song.

Crossbow is 7 kids (young enough to be my kids, so, kids) who went to Grand Valley State University. They have Talent, capital T. Claire (the lead singer) has Pipes, capital P.

Oh WOW! The Lions WON!!!!

I know, I have 7 Drakes. Can tell on thier neck and head color,lol

You must have visited overnight or yesterday when I was at the car show. I think you replaced 2 of my hens with drakes.
It seems like overnight that 2 of my hen ducks turned into drakes. The 2 young drakes now have drake feathers and brilliant green heads. No question that they are male. I wonder hoe 3 male and 3 females will fare in the long term. I think some culling might happen before too long. That makes me rather sad.

We are also hoping that the folks in PR are safe

Thank you @aart, Michelle, Sally, Mrs. Mary.
Got a short text from sister. She is cared but alive but we do not know about our brother who lives .5 miles from the ocean in Ponce and right to one of the rivers that overflowed into the streets. Lots of videos online. Devastating. Not as bad as with hurricane Maria but there were still people with tarps after 4 years of Maria. The government is bad, no matter who is there. They are selfish. The sold the electric company and brought Luma who their ratings were about a star for billions of dollars. Second day today and no power. That's about 778,000 people on the dark,no oxigen,no baby formula,and unable to get food. This hurricane was only category 1 with 85 to 100mph winds but so far in my town of Ponce, there have been recorded 26inch of rain and expecting more. Roads had collapsed leaving people stranded with no way to get out or nobody to go in. Water forces taking bridges that were fixed 4yrs ago. Ok, not going to ramble much. You guys are my family and I appreciate of you

On the other funny side, I thought about going and swap some ducks Raz, but I didn't, lol I guess your hen made a lot of boys this time,lol So 9 out of 16 are drakes,wow!
