Temporary Relief
If you're visiting the Palm Beach Zoo in the next week or two you might want to "use facilities" elsewhere before you arrive.
The roseate spoonbills were moved to the women's restrooms at the zoo to ride out Hurricane Frances. The zoos flamingos moved to a much more upscale abode by being sheltered in the faux Mayan observatory that is part of the tropical exhibit at the zoo. Word has it that music to soothe the fussy, flighty, feathered flock was piped into the observatory.
This leads the RBR to propose that the next time this happens (which could be as early as next week if Hurricane Ivan comes calling) that they pipe in I Only Have Eyes for You by the ever popular late 50's group, The Flamingos.
Are the stars out tonight?
I don't know if it's cloudy or bright
Cause I only have eyes for you, dear
The moon may be high
But I can’t see a thing in the sky
’cause I only have eyes for you.
I don’t know if we’re in a garden
Or on a crowded avenue
You are here, so am i
Maybe millions of people blow by
But they all disappear from view...
And I only have eyes for you.
Bird is currently flapping his way down to south Florida to provide the type of assistance that only he can. Reports will be posted as they are received.
