Stupid ducks

I dunno what it is, maybe sunspots, could be global warming it just beats me.

I've been having these weird dreams again.

In this one I'm a kid, about 15 or 16, and I am going on a trip to what was then the Soviet Union, what is now Russia. Part of the deal is that I have to take this duck with me, it's a mallard duck. It's the winter time and the duck is under the ice in a pond. This duck seems to be doing fine under the ice with no air. In fact, it's swimming around having a great time
I take a tractor and drive it on the ice. The tractor breaks through the ice and splashes into the pond; somehow I end up with the duck in my arms.

hmmmmmm, I wonder what it could mean
