The greats are passing all too often. Who doesn't like those flamingo's?

I remember getting fifty of them for my moms 50'th birthday. I can't say that she was impressed when she came home from work, but Dad thought it was funny.

I had one back in my wild and wooly days, I tore the legs off and wired him in a tree so it looked like he was perched in a tree, a tree dwelling Flamingo don't you know!

RIP Don
