Last week I was heading for work. Traffic was kind of moving slow, it was earlier than I normally go in. I was sitting in the line of cars, you know, stop and go. Detroit is not as famous as Washington DC, New Youk, or L.A. for traffic jams, but we hold our own among the urban sprawls. I noticed a mother duck and her 4-5 babies moving towards the highway and it’s 4 lanes of bumper to bumper traffic. I could feel panic rise as she got closer to the cars. The highway is divided, so she could really go no place if she managed to get herself and the babies across. I was looking around at the other drivers to see if they noticed her, no one seemed to. I finally moved past her so that I had to skew the mirror way over to the right so I could still see her attempts. Eventually I moved out of sight. I wonder what became of her?
