Born to Be Wild (Kingdom)

Sometimes, being the world traveling duck is not all fun and games. So surprisingly, NOT found himself going to...

Omaha

Nebraska

in February.

Brrrr. 

Heading out with a co-worker of J.J.'s, he was guaranteed to have a good time.  First off, a stop to get some insurance. 

Alas, Marlin Perkins was no longer there. But NOT did buy some traveler's insurance in case he got lost. 

Which he almost did immediately after leaving the agency. See, in Nebraska in the winter they have snow.

Lots of snow.

Mountains and mountains of snow. 

More than NOT had seen since being in Antarctica. 

There was only one thing for a little duck to do. Climb. Climb for his life!

Soon the top came into view. Closer and closer he climbed.

And once he reached the crest, what did he see? 

Ice. And more ice. The North Platt River was frozen. Snow was all around. 

"Why did you bring me here?" he quacked.

It was explained to him simply:

"So, NOT, you will appreciate the warmth that you find in Atlanta. That's why."
