J and I went for a walk today in the chilly spring rain. We invented a new binary system. It is not monotonic.
Things that are cuter than a baby duck:
Kittens
Puppies
Baby Bunnies
Lambs
the word 'lollipop'
Things that are not cuter than a baby duck:
Other types of baby birds
Baby polar bears
Elmo
Poodles
Baby seals
I'm not really sure what the value of a baby duck as a heuristic is. I mean, a baby duck is pretty darn cute, so I think this system sets the bar pretty high. It only separates the top 10 percent from the rest.
We were also pleased to identify goldfinches and house finches on our walk.
I am excited for spring and summer!

Hmm, I am not sure how I feel about your dichotomy. On the one hand, baby ducks create Kelvin baby duck waves. Baby seals on the other hand, are what everything at REI is made out of. Surely this counts for extra?
