A Maryland waterfowl hunter was flown to the hospital Thursday after he was struck unconscious by a duck he had just shot out of the sky, authorities say, CBS Baltimore reports. Robert Meilhammer, 51, was hunting with others in Easton near the Miles River shortly before 5 p.m. when the dead goose fell from the sky.
Reporter can't make up his mind. Or maybe the duck metamorphosized on the way down?

I have sailed on the Miles River a number of times on my way to St. Micheals. Those duck blinds are all over the Chesapeake. A constant reminder of how shallow it can be a mile or more from shore.


St. Micheals, Oxford and all of those eastern Maryland towns used to be wonderful quaint little towns. Sailing in was like sailing back into time. That was all ruined when they but the highway in. Now they are filled with tons of tourists and the very rich with enormous homes along the shore.

In our littoral, in most of the inhabited areas, they consistently ruined the place with tall buildings, distant 150 meters or less from the beach. As I cadet I went my first time to Puerto Madryn in 1965. Now, I use to go for work and I cannot avoid the comparison. :(

I don't know which is more sad. Someone that devotes the kind of time it would take to build your skills in Donkey Kong to break a million points. Or someone that would dedicate the time to prove said person did not actually break a million points.
Would you mind considering Nadal, Federer or Djokovic as well?
