I NEEDED TO FINISH THE SINGLE SIDE OF THE DUCK DATING SCENE ON THE CLARK FORK RIVER, NEAR CALIFORNIA BRIDGE . . . I GUESS IT IS MIGRATION TIME FOR THE DUCKS? THAT WOULD EXPLAIN THE GIGANTIC INCREASE IN THE NUMBERS, BUT WHY THIS YEAR? HEAR OUR VOICE! HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS PROTEST GUN LAWS AND CONTROL! PROTECT US, NOT GUNS. TAKING ON POWERFUL GUN LOBBY, AND THE NRA! MY KIDS! KISS. I DON'T CARE WHICH SIDE OF THE ISSUE YOU ARE ON, JUST BE ON A SIDE AND FIGHT, UNITE & WIN! I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE PROCESS, WE USE TO GET TO THE LAWS, POLICIES, AND RULES, WE LIVE BY IN THIS COUNTRY, WITHIN THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION AND STATE CONSTITUTIONS! REASONABLE PEOPLE AGREE TO DISAGREE, AND POLITICS IS ABOUT COMPROMISE! THE LORD SAYS, BE YEA THEREFORE, HOT OR COLD, IF YOU ARE LUKE WARM, I SPEW THEE OUT OF MY MOUTH! TOO MANY OR OUR STATE LEGISLATURES, AND NATIONAL CONGRESSIONAL MEMBERS, ARE MORE WORRIED ABOUT, JUST SIMPLY BEING RE-ELECTED, OR GETTING LARGE CAMPAIGN DONATIONS, THAT THEY ARE AFRAID TO TAKE A SIDE, AFRAID TO CROSS THE PRSIDENT, AFRAID TO FIGHT THE NRA, OR OTHER POWERFUL WASHINGTON, D.C. LOBBYING AND SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS! I AM PROUD OF THE KIDS, OR TAKING THE INITIATIVE TO STAND UP AND BE HEARD! THE ISSUES ARE COMPLICATED, CON LAW IS HARD, THERE ARE CONCERNS ABOUT, DUE PROCESS AND EQUAL PROTECTION, RIGHTS, FREEDOMS, LIBERTIES, AND PRIVILEGES, NOT TO MENTION PROTECTIONS . . . ALL THAT NEEDS TO BE TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION, DEBATED, AND FOUGHT OUT! THAT IS WHERE STUDENTS, GUN LOBBY, AND OTHER INTERESTS, FACE OFF HEAD TO HEAD, OVER THIS ISSUE, THAT GOES TO THE ROOT OF OUR, COUNTRY, AND FOUNDING FREEDOMS! IT'S COMPLICATED! BANNING ASSAULT WEAPONS? BUMP STOCKS? CHANGING THE AGE OF GUN PURCHASES TO 21? DRAFT AT 18? WE NEED, STRONG, VOICES, THOUGHTFUL AND SMART, NEW ARGUMENTS, AND FRESH FACES! CONGRATULATIONS TO MR. LAMB, IN PENNSYLVANIA! A DEMOCRAT WON IN A STATE THAT VOTED FOR TRUMP, BY, 20% OR SO THEY SAY, AND HE DID IT GOING BACK TO A TIME AND THE ISSUES, THAT, RULED THE STATE, WHEN DEMOCRATS CONTROLLED THE MAJORITY IN THAT STATE! WE NEED TO RETURN TO THE BASICS, AND A BALANCE! THE FIGHT IS WORTH THE MIGHT! IT IS THE BATTLE, THE BRAINS, THE SPARING, THE FIGHT, THAT THE BEAUTIFUL, PERFECT PIECE OF LAW OR LEGISLATION IS MADE, NOT IN VOTING IN LOCK STEP WITH YOUR PARTY! YESTERDAY ON MSNBC, THERE WAS A FATHER, OF A YOUNG DAUGHTER, WHO CALLED DAD, A STATE OR FEDERAL LEGISLATOR, AND SAID THERE WAS A SHOOTER IN HER SCHOOL, AND COULD HE COME AND PICK HER UP? IT WAS A HOAX, BUT, THE FATHER, SAID HE WAS FREAKED OUT BY ALL THE COPS, THE YELLOW TAPE AND THE POSSIBLE SHOOTING OF HIS DAUGHTER, SO HE BROKE RANK AND FILE WITH THE REPUBLICANS, MAYBE IN FLORIDA, AND VOTED FOR GUN, LAW CHANGES! THIS NEW, FORMER, PROSECUTOR, SOMETHING LAMB, IS LIBERAL ON SOME ISSUES, MODERATE ON OTHERS, AND REPUBLICANS EVEN CLAIMED HIM AS THEIR OWN, AFTER HE WON! THAT IS THE FUCKING WAY IT SHOULD BE, ALL THE TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WE ARE NOT ALL PROTOTYPES OF ONE PARTY AND SIZE FITS ALL! WE HAVE INDIVIDUAL DISTRICTS, WITH, UNIQUE INTERESTS, THAT CAN COLOR OUR VOTE, AND SHOULD . . . WE NEED TO REFLECT, THOSE WE REPRESENT. JUST TODAY, IN THE MISSOULIAN, THERE WAS A RECENT POLL, SHOWING THE PERCENTAGES OF MONTANANS, WHO, SUPPORTED THIS OR THAT CANDIDATE, AND I AM GUESSING AND EXTRAPOLIATING FROM THE POLL, THAT, THE MORE REPRESENTATIVE OF THE PEOPLE, OR THE PERCENT, THAT OUR ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES, REFLECTED, MONTANANS' VIEWS, THE HIGHER, THEIR SUPPORT WAS . . . SEEMS TO BE TRUE! NEW SECRETARY OF THE INTERIOR, RYAN ZINKE, A FORMER, REPUBLICAN MEMBER OF THE MONTANA LEGISLATURE, HAS MOVED TO REDUCE, THE UTAH NATIONAL MONUMENTS, THE BEAR EARS AND ESCALANTE-STAIRCASE . . . NOW WHY WOULD, MONTANANS CARE ABOUT UTAH POLITICS, AND THIS REDUCTION? BECAUSE, WHILE THESE MONUMENTS ARE IN UTAH, THEY ARE PUBLIC LANDS, AND NOT MINED OR WITH OIL DRILLS ON THEM, AND THEY REMAIN, PRISTINE, PLEASURE SPOTS FOR, ALL AMERICANS, TO GO AND ENJOY THE BEAUTY OF ALL STATES, AND WHAT THEY HAVE TO OFFER! THEY MAY EVEN MAKE MORE ON TOURISTS, THAN ON OIL, THEY MAY OR MAY NOT FIND! ZINKE HAS A 62% DISAPPROVAL RATING! MONTANANS ARE OUTSIDE, PUBLIC LANDS, LOVING, CAMPERS, HIKERS, BIKERS, AND FISHERMAN! THEY GO TO THESE PLACES! SO DO THE REST OF US, IN THE 99% OF THE UNITED STATES POPULATION, THAT DON'T HAVE YACHTS, 10 HOUSES, 50 CARS, AND OWN GOLF COURSES! WE GO TO NATIONAL MONUMENTS, STATE AND NATIONAL PARKS ON OUR VACATIONS, AND OFTEN, AS CHEAP AS WE CAN! I THOUGHT IS WAS INTERESTING, THAT SENATOR TESTER, AND I DIG THE GUY, I WANTED TO WORK FOR HIM, WHEN, I FIRST CAME TO MONTANA, SEEING ONE OF HIS CAMPIAGN ADS, AND COULDN'T TELL IF HE WAS A DEMOCRAT OR A REPUBLICAN! THAT IS WHY. TESTER, TENDS TO BE IN THE MIDDLE AND HIS POLLING REFLECTED THAT, WITH A 50/50 SPLIT, ON HIS CONSTITUENTS! MONTANA IS A TOUGH STATE AND THEY SPLIT, THINGS UP, WHICH IS HEALTHY! WE HAVE A DEMOCRATIC GOVERNOR, CONSIDERED FOR A 2020 RUN FOR PRESIDENT, BULLOCK, AND A REPUBLICAN ATTORNEY GENERAL, TIM FOX! THAT HELPS BALANCE OUT THE TOP BRANCHES IN THE EXECUTIVE OFFICES! IT IS NOT HEALTHY TO HAVE, ALL REPUBLICANS, CONTROLLING STATE AND NATIONAL LEGISLATURES, NOR ALL DEMOCRATS, AND NICE MIX IS BEST! SENATOR DAINES, AND CONGRESSMAN, GIANFORTE, ARE AT ABOUT A 42% POLLING OF MONTANANS. YOU DON'T REPRESENT, SPECIAL INTERESTS, OR BIG BUSINESS, OR CORPORATE AMERICA! YOU REPRESENT, DOWN HOME, GOOD OLD, BOYS AND GALS, WHO, WANT THE BASICS IN LIFE, AND THE GOOD LIFE, WITH LOWER TAXES, AND OUR PUBLIC LANDS, WATER, AND WILDLIFE PROTECTED! TAKE THAT FOR WHAT IT IS WORTH. THE BEST THING I LEARNED AS A COMMUNICATIONS MINOR, WAS TO READ, AND LEARN WHO YOUR AUDIENCE IS . . . THAT IS GOOD ADVICE FOR STATE AND FEDERAL REPRESENTATIVES! WE ARE NOT BILLIONAIRES! MOST YOUNG PARENTS, WORK, TWO AND THREE JOBS, BOTH PARENTS, TO PUT FOOD ON THE TABLE AND KEEP THEIR KIDS IN CLOTHS, AND SHOES, NOT TO MENTION, PUTTING THEM THROUGH COLLEGE! MANY OF MONTANA'S KIDS WILL BE FIRST GENERATION COLLEGE GRADUATES! MY COWBOY FRIEND, WORKED FOUR YEARS, LONG, HARD, YEARS, AT THE BONNER MILL, CUTTING LOGS AND ROLLING THEM, DONW THE RIVER OR WHEREVER, GONIG ON TWO HOURS OF SLEEP! THAT IS MONTANA, AND A MONTANA PARENT, AND HE WAASN'T EVEN A BIOLOGICAL FATHER! THAT IS EATING ICE FOR BREAKFAST AND DOING WHAT, NEEDS TO BE DONE, TO GIVE YOUR KIDS A BETTER LIFE, THAN YOU HAD YOURSELF! YOU REPRESENT THOSE PEOPLE, THOSE PARENTS, AND ABOUT 99% OF MONTANA, AND THE UNITED STATES, FOR THAT MATTER! FAMILIES MATTER! OH, THAT'S JUST FOR THE BIRDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SWINGING SINGLES IN THE DUCK DATING WORLD, AS FAR AS I COULD TELL . . . I AM NO DUCK EXPERT, JUST AN OBSERVER, AND INTO WHAT THAT MIGHT SHOW IN THE HUMAN WORLD!

Yesterday, I mentioned, what seemed to be the process, again, very important in even, the dating and mating world, both for birds, animals, and people . . . (1) an unorganized, unmatched, mass of ducks, all swimming, in almost a circle, very close together, in a blob, is looked like, all mixed, males and females, just hanging out, eating bread, and scraps that people were throwing in the river; (2) pairs, leaving the group, or paddle, and going off together, on the shore for a few minutes is all, then, back into the flock, again . . . nope, don't think so, maybe later, let me check out the rest of my drake-necked friends; (3) eventually, some paring took place, some faster than others, taking off, to parts and rivers, ponds, and lakes unknown, never to frequent, the Clark Fork again . . . or just floating the river, on a lazy, Sunday afternoon, checking out, what this duck is all about!  Easy like a Sunday morning, nothing serious, let's meet for a few bugs, and plankton!  Bottom feeders!  LOL.  (4) serious, couples, stayed together, and kind of did their own, thing, cruising, and eating, mainly still in the water, or flying, somewhere and coming back, sometimes, in just couples, but, this is the strange, single part of this, whole mating, thing, there were the two by two's, then, there were groups of 3 to 5 ducks, still, in a smaller paddle, I like that word, it sounds, ducky!  LOL.  Were they swingers? polygamous? bigamists? or still immature, and hanging in groups, like humans?  (5) Judged on what I saw, of some of the ducks . . . nah, nothing that interested me this year, and they were off doing their own thing, totally, alone, just floating the river and watching the scenery.  Who says, I have to get paired off the first spring, or even the second, or ever?  Some simply, were just, being, a lone duck!  There is evidence of that in other species, like, Ethel the female bear, who cruised, over 1,000 miles, eating cherry's in the Flathead, also tracked to the Bob Marshal Wilderness Area . . . she simply had no desire to mate, and as far as recorded, to date, didn't have cubs.  WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH THAT?  TOO MANY OPTIONS?  INTO FREEDOM?  INTO CHERRY PICKING MORE?  LOL?  WHO KNOWS!

IT IS THOUGHT, THAT DUCKS MATE FOR LIFE?  RIGHT, ABOUT THE SAME TIME, AS I WAS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT, WHAT, THE DUCKS WERE UP TO, THERE WAS A NEW STUDY, ON BIRD AND ANIMALS . . . THEY ARE NOT NECESSARILY, MONOGAMOUS!  NEITHER MALES OR FEMALES!  THAT SHOOTS THE SHIT OUT OF MY SECOND HUSBAND'S LAME ASS ARGUMENTS FOR POLYGAMY, WELL THE ANIMAL KINGDOM, MALES HAVE MORE THAN ONE PARTNER . . . IT APPEARS THAT FEMALES DO TOO!  WAY TO GO GIRLS!  GIRLS JUST WANNA HAVE FUN TOO!

DON'T FEED THE WILDLIFE!  HEY, I DIDN'T DO THE STUDY!  LOL.  THIS IS NOT BIOLOGY, OR ZOOLOGY, ACCORDING TO JOANN, THE LAWYER!  I STARTED A MASTER'S DEGREE, IN FAMILY AND HUMAN DEVELOPMENT, SO, I AM INTERESTED, IN THESE THINGS, WE TAKE LONGER TO GROW, TO MATE, AND IT IS HARDER TO DRAW CONCLUSIONS IF WE WANT ANSWERS . . . DUCKS ARE EASIER, BUT REFLECT, HUMAN, BEHAVIOR AND PATTERNS!

DEAL WITH REALITY, OR REALITY WILL DEAL WITH YOU!

LOVE WHO YOU WILL, AND THAT IS NOTHING TO BE ASHAMED OF . . . OR LOVE NOBODY!

JUST LIKE, ON PARTY HAT, DOESN'T FIT ALL CANDIDATES, NIETHER DOES ONE, LIFESTYLE FIT, ALL PEOPLE . . . WE ARE ALL UNIQUELY, MADE, NATURE AND NURTURE AND SPICED UP WITH OUR OWN, EXPERIENCES, AND CHOICES!

DO NOT TAKE ANYTHING I SAY, AS BEING OF EXPERT OPINION!

I AM JUST HAVING FUN, WITH A DUCK DATING GAME, AND COMPARING IT TO THE PEOPLE DATING GAME!

ANALOGOUS COMPARISONS!

SOMETHING TO TALK ABOUT OVER BREAKFAST OR DINNER!

I JUST LIKE TO MAKE PEOPLE THINK, DISCUSS, AND DEBATE!

I DIDN'T TEACH ARGUMENTATION AND RESEARCH FOR NOTHING!

ONE CLOSING THOUGHT, ON THE STUDENTS, AND THE FACULTY, THAT MIGHT HAVE HELPED ORGANIZE, THAT PROTEST, IN MANY OF THE NATIONS CITIES AND HIGH SCHOOLS, EVEN ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS, HERE IN MISSOULA, WITH PARENTS, TEACHERS, AND STUDENTS . . . THIS IS HOW, CIVIC TEACHERS, PARENTS, AND CONCERNED, CITIZENS, MAKE, THINGS RELEVANT, FOR KIDS . . . THAT IS HOW THEY LEARN BEST!

EDUCATION + EXPERIENCE + CURRENT AFFAIRS = SMARTER, MORE CIVIC MINDED, FUTURE, LEADERS OF OUR STATES AND COUNTRY!

GOD BLESS OUR TEACHERS, AND GOD BLESS THE STUDENTS, THAT THEY ARE ALWAYS, SAFE IN THEIR HOMES AND SCHOOLS, AND ON THE STREETS!

OUR CHILDREN, ARE, OUR FUTURE!

KISSES. LOVES, HUGS!
