Coming into work this morning I just saw in time a mother duck and ducklings starting to cross the road (five of them!). I stopped my car and while traffic backed up behind me, saw them cross in front, jump up on the grassy medium, and proceed to the other side of the street.
The FedEx trucks waited in the other direction, so we stopped all traffic for the couple of minutes it took for them to cross. Renewed my battered faith in my fellow man, that did.
