There are large flocks of ducks and geese in our town and they are my heroes because they are a recurrent "problem" for the golf course users who cut down a bunch of trees in what was wild animal habitat and then added additional ponds which ducks and geese are known for liking, and then have the nerve to act surprised about ducks and geese using the ponds while the rest of their stupid hobby is a giant bald patch eyesore right along a huge chunk of what used to be a scenic bike and car path. (Also horse path that the bridle schools use for exercise, but I guess they probably don't tend to take their horses to poop on the golf course because they'd have to leave the path and go over a ditch. Bummer.)

So far, mostly I just cheer the ducks and geese when I see them and read about their activities, specifically their golf-course activities, but I wonder if there's some expert on wild duck and goose behavior who could be consulted for the best ways to lure additional ducks and geese to a golf course and reinforce the behavior. Apparently not bread, because that's bad for them, but that's the only thing I ever learned to give them when growing up...

... I probably don't really have the revolutionary spirit to sneak into the golf course to feed (or whatever) ducks and geese, but it's a nice thought. It seems like they're doing such a service that applause just isn't enough.

Corita Kent (November 20, 1918 – September 18, 1986), born Frances Elizabeth Kent, also known as Sister Mary Corita Kent, was an American artist influential in the pop art movement, particularly with anti-war messaging in the 60s-70s, and head of the art department at Immaculate Heart college. Kent's primary medium was screenprint, or serigraphy, and she is known for artworks that make use of screenprinting to remix product packaging. Tensions between Kent's order and Catholic church leaders mounted throughout the 1960s due to their strong anti-war messages, with the order, the college, and her artwork being criticized as "liberal", "communist" and "blasphemous". As a result Kent returned to secular life in 1968 and most of her sisters left the college and order. Kent's work includes the 1985 United States Postal Service stamp Love and the 1971 Rainbow Swash, the largest copyrighted work of art in the world, covering a 150-foot (46 m) high natural gas tank in Boston. Her popularity was already great in the 1950s and she was commissioned for hundreds of print series, winning awards and recognition from the 60s through the 80s, but has received critical recognition for her role in the pop art movement only in recent years.
