Flamingos in the men's room

For a while on Wednesday, it looked like Irma might bestow her dire power on Washington, DC. But no housecleaning this time.

In today's post we have 2 cartoons and the image that inspired the title of today's post.

This article by NPR (National Public Radio) is a good read: Flamingos In The Men's Room.

More than 50 Caribbean flamingos take shelter in a men's restroom at the Miami Metrozoo (now Zoo Miami) on Sept. 25, 1998. Zookeepers rounded up the birds to protect them from the effects of Hurricane Georges. This was not the first time the zoo had to corral flamingos in a restroom. They were also in there during Hurricane Andrew, six years earlier.
