The mission of this Rubber Duckie is to travel far and wide. Maybe it will inspire people to sing the Rubber Duckie song from Sesame Street.
Rubber ducks have been around for about 65 million years. The modern rubber one is a little newer. Basically, it started with “vulcanized rubber”, the stuff that you drive on. In 1844, Charles Goodyear mixed it with chemicals and polymers to make it more durable and patented the process.
The origins of the rubber duck are a little murky, but it goes something like this: In the ’40s, the Rempel company of Akron, Ohio made the first iteration. It was a hollow, walking rubber duck with a sick mohawk. This duck was meant for land but, as indoor plumbing became more common in the ’50s, it found its way into suburban homes and bathtubs.
Contrary to popular belief, “rubber” ducks weren’t made of rubber for very long. Instead, as the bath toy became more popular, manufacturers opted for softened plastic. Later on, it changed to vinyl plastic. But the name rubber ducky has endured.
The travel bug tag as well as the duck are homemade.
Shake me. I rattle.

Picked it up from this particular hide a few days ago, but could not log the "grab" until today (given some confusion as to where it was physically located).
Cure Duckie, aerobear! Let's see if I can move you along. maybe outside of the Houston area for a change? Let's just play it by ear, see if I can a least get it out of this particular area so it can 'travel' a bit once more...

Per the person who apparently last had it in their possession:
"Sorry for the late post, I put it in my own cache TreeVGuide."
Yep, it was indeed not dropped at this Event but rather into a physical cache (which I visited a few days ago).... I'll pick it up from "here", drop it into Levilol's so-called "TreeVGuide" hide, then pick it up again so it can be moved to a new spot. ;)
Sorry for all the confusion, aerobear... I'll get it straightened out. 😛😛😛
