JUST DUCKY: Unfortunately, we cannot reproduce the photo from a
newspaper clipping we received. It falls under that “”fruit
oddity”” category which we love.[neWLine]

L.J. Gorske of Johnsonburg had grown a tomato which bears an
uncanny resemblance to a rubber ducky. The photo in the Johnsonburg
Press shows that Mr. Gorske helped bring the image to life by
drawing a face and wings on the odd-shaped
vegetable.[neWLine][neWLine]

POST SCRIPT: In all our raging debate over the benefits of
living in Bradford compared to Florida, one question we’ve had for
years was not addressed. Why in the world does Florida have so many
tanning salons?[neWLine][neWLine]

AND ALSO: A reader tells us she was strolling around Tops and
whistling. She got some weird stares and asked, why don’t people
whistle anymore? Think about it.[neWLine][neWLine]

TODAY’S QUOTE: “”The great dreaded thing every reporter lives
with is what you don’t know. The source you didn’t go to. The phone
call you didn’t return.”” Today’s quote is not from our trusty
Freedom Forum calendar but from a list of quotations compiled for
National Newspaper Week. Who said it? Watergate investigative
reporter Bob Woodward.
