Duck Appreciation Day

This place claims that today is Duck Appreciation Day. The ducks must be loving the weather around here because Dayton's record for most rainfall in the month of April is about to be broken. Over 7.5 inches have fallen so far with more on the way. A little over an inch more and it will be the fifth rainiest month ever in the Miami Valley.
