As I left this morning, I noticed an astonishing site. The neighbours yard was filled with plastic pink flamingos. Living nearby to a suburb where gnomes on the front of many businesses is a biennial occurrence meant that siting didn't faze me ... much. But seeing as how the old man was sitting there on...
