Eeeek. After reading further in the thread, I see that something more was anticipated. But no, I just think he was dreaming about the sewage, and the contaminated wells. If it were I, that's what it would be.
The duck part is most imaginative, of course, because the people who are promoting the sewage are touting the environmental benefits, and at face value, that sounds great, like using composted manure. Natural, mellow, and organic. Too bad about all the pathogens that don't get destroyed during the treatment. Too bad about all the contaminants that don't get destroyed during treatment. Look at the pretty pictures in the shiny brochure, don't look at that fine print!
As an easy-going man, I expect that his life has been somewhat disrupted by his wife's unexpected political activism? That may be the explanation of it being inside the house, filling all the rooms. Bad enough Out There, but now it's messing up his personal life? |
