The county park gig had its benefits--lots of hand outs from the picnickers, no real danger except for the alligator (but he only got one or two ducks a year)--but the "Quacks me up" jokes and being called the "Quack Doctor" got a little tiresome.

Anchor Babies
Elaine had been born in Canada, near Revelstoke, B.C., but had spent her first winter in Mexico, in the Gulf of California. Now here she was two years later in Northern Idaho with a bunch of ducklings who were clearly U. S. citizens.

Should she, though, be worried that ICE would come checking passports?. . . . . David, Sf.G.
