Rubber duck: Quack three times if you liked festival visitor

The giant inflatable rubber duck that was displayed at the Festival of Sail Tacoma made my day. Like many others, I am sick of trying to navigate the media to find positive news.

Yesterday, however, I had many good laughs over the photos of the giant duck descending on Tacoma. While Tacoma has never been known for the quality of its aroma, I think the duck brought some much needed fresh air to the community.
