'Duckville' is in the middle of nowhere. It's a term that was created to describe our location. Rick Looney is even our mayor. He's self-appointed since he came up with the name.
Duckville is a pretty interesting spot we like to call home. We live about 20 miles north of Stephenville. We have a Mingus address, Gordon phone number, live in the Gordon School District (Palo Pinto County) and live in Erath County. (No, that's not Earth spelled wrong.) Mingus is made up of about 8 bars, a city hall, post office and bank. Gordon has a SMALL shopping strip--hardware store, post office and one or two others. The nearest 'grocery store' is in Strawn. But you have to know when it's open. It seems to be closed every time I have been there.
Add all of that together and you might gather that Ty, Ryndon and I live in the boondocks--hence the need for its own name.
