Ducks! Somehow I just couldn't put "got a bite on my baited breath"-- .
'Fried Green Tomatoes' was on TV last night, and I caught the part where Iggy (Idgy?) retells the story about how there used to be a lake in that field right over there; but one November a few years back, a whole big flock of ducks came in and landed there; there was a hard freeze that night, and that lake froze so fast that all the ducks' feet were trapped. The next morning they all got to flapping their wings, and don't you know they pulled that whole lake right up, and now it's clear over in Georgia somewhere. [/free association]
