A duck, a cat, and a squirrel - sounds like a great start to a classic joke - doesn’t it? I don’t know what the joke is/was, but it certainly was bizarre perhaps foretelling.

Today on my morning walk I observed two mallard ducks who seemed to be seriously lost. After giving directions to the nearby watering holes I went about my business of my walk to Dunn Bros.

Well, on my return trip, whom do I run across, but the very same ducks (at least I think they were the same), well, one at least, seeming to have a pow-wow with a beautiful all white cat and squirrel of excellent specimen. Very bizarre indeed. All quiet un-disturbed by the situation and seemingly totally ambivolent about my presence as well.

I kept trying to come up with a joke, but found none. However, I did have a flash, that this is kind of like the Muppet Show - an odd assortment of fine acts . . .

Kermit and the Muppet Show have been on going themes this week as I realize that Kermit has become my new totem. No longer the tadpole. Now the showman, the stage manager, the collector of vast talents to bring the greatest show on earth. What that show is - I have no idea, but I do find it intriguing the response I received from the trio - Everything is just as it should be. Were they waiting for Kermit? Quack, MEow, Squeek, Hello
