We live in a small town (pop. 5000, more or less).  Our small-town values really hit home today.  The police blocked our 5 lane highway and gave a complete police escort to a gaggle of geese (a mother goose and her 8 goslings) who were being lead  across the road and back to their home at the park.  I wonder if they had been to the library for children's reading time.  Wouldn't real ducklings or even goslings make a great illustration for Robert McCloskey's book, Make Way for Ducklings?!  Even preschoolers might sit still for that.

Update--The librarians deny inviting the geese to the library.  They just showed up on the front porch this morning.
