I'll see aboot that, eh? I haven't checked on the pond recently (now
that I no longer live adjacent to the park, I don't see it as often),
but all icebergs are welcome. In fact, half the boulders in the park,
contrived as they are, are the result of glacial activity back when
Seymour was a boy. So, Paul, you can not only save the ducks, but you
can leave your own mark on Central Park without getting a ticket from
our Lord Mayor.
BTW, did I say that I laughed mightily when I read the summaries of who
did and said what to whom?
Boy, did I need a good laugh.
