Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.
Margaret Mead
The above quote doesn’t refer to today’s blog. But it resonated with me. Especially now. People back home are making changes regarding their purchases. They are the small groups of thoughtful, committed citizens making a change. Bravo.
Now to today’s blog.
Sometime I’m lazy. Or should I correct that and say sometimes I procrastinate.
Not about all things.
I’m usually right on top of things.
But lately I’ve been a bit lackadaisical in my blogging.
So today I’m playing catch-up. I’m doin it right – now.
I often spot things I find new, different, or interesting to me. Well let’s be honest it’s mostly Richard who spots them, shows me, and I run with them.
One Sunday we went out for an early breakfast at Sunliner diner. I’ve previously blogged about this place. It has a fun 50’s vibe. Although of course I’m too young to remember the 50’s.

We didn’t take a picture this year so here’s a previous one of us in the convertible.
When we were paying the server gave me this card to submit a review. First time I’d ever seen this. A QR code to leave a review.
Something we’ve noticed down here is Jeeps displaying rubber ducks on their dashboards. Many jeeps with varying numbers of ducks.
Why?
Google had some interesting information.
Jeep Ducking
Jeep Ducking began in Ontario in 2020 when a Jeep owner decided to do something to brighten both her and a stranger’s day. She went and bought a rubber ducky, and put the duck on a nearby Jeep.
The Wave
…the Jeep Wave is awesome because it’s a great way to let fellow Jeepers know that you like their Jeep or simply a nice way to say hello to other Jeepers.
The Wave comes in numerous forms: an energetic side-to-side motion of one or both hands, a raised hand waving or two or four fingers being lifted behind the steering wheel.
Jeep Ponds
A duck pond is a Jeep slang term for a big collection of rubber ducks. If you have owned a Jeep model for a long time, you will start stockpiling these toys and may even need to find a fun way to display them

Who knew? Did you? Have you seen any Jeeps with Ducks where you live? Let me know. Oh the things I have learned.
Then I saw this cheeky post. Made me smile.
Yesterday I took these screen shots to compare the weather in Gulf Shores, Alabama to Summerside, Prince Edward Island.
It’s the same temperature here today as yesterday but instead of sunning on the deck in my bathing suit I’m in leggings, a jacket, and wool socks. What a difference the wind makes. But being from PEI I understand.
Some of you might remember this song. Especially those who would go to hear a Summerside band, Trixter (later changed to Under—- how awful I can’t remember the rest of the name, maybe Underfire?) They would do a live cover of it in the 70’s and 80’s at local dances. This recording is The Powder Blues Band, not Trixter.
Leave a comment here and let me know if you remember them.
