On My Way Out This Morning, I Saw A Swan Swoop Down And Bully Two Geese Out Of The Canal Lock

On my way out this morning, I saw a swan swoop down and bully two geese out of the canal lock

On my way back home, I saw a heron standing watchful over the empty lock, and a goose on the towpath with a fuzzy gosling tucked under its wing

Bird augury side of tumblr, what do these omens signify?

Happy Yeet the Foul Bauble of Man's Vanity to those who celebrate!

re: the $1 trillion coin there's an old Donald Duck comic where Duckburg has a liquidity crisis because all its coins are in Scrooge's money bin. The government prints a single bank note the size of broadsheet newspaper with a denomination of one gorillion dollars and forces Scrooge to exchange one gorillion dollars of coins for it. They claim that really he is just breaking a bill for them since the face value is the same as the coins. The government distributes the money to the Duckburgers.

Scrooge tries to spend the bill but of course no business can provide change for one gorillion dollars and they all refuse to sell him anything. Only one duck in the world can: Flintheart Glomgold. Scrooge asks to buy glue factories or silver mines from Flintheart, but Flintheart of course declines because what's he going to do with the gorillion dollar bill, buy something from Scrooge?

Meanwhile, in Duckburg people are spending coins in stores, vending machines, and parking meters. All of which Scrooge owns. He flies back from South Africa to find the Money Bin full of coins again. Scrooge uses the gorillion dollar bill to cover up a broken window.
