Is there a pink flamingo support group forming? On my second trip through the Grand Canyon [1986] I hid one of my lawn flamingos [I used to always put two outside my tent when I was teaching at the Madawaska Kanu Centre] in my dry bag. On about the fifth night of the two week trip I put one in the middle of the camp circle. The reaction was worth the trouble of carrying the thing. He [the flamingo] got his side stove in when the hull got compressed from something I did in Crystal, but he lives on to decorate my campsites still. There's someone in my neighborhood, not me, who, for Christmas, puts a santa and sleigh on his front lawn. The sleigh is being pulled by a bunch of flamingos, the first of which has his beak painted bright red. What joy kitsch can bring!
