Do you remember Mary Daniel, the woman who became a dishwasher at her husband's care facility to see him?

I checked in on the 21 flamingos of Sunken Gardens, who are still hanging out in the bathroom as shown in this now-viral image.

The photo was taken in the ladies' room by the lobby and the gift shop (maybe, like the flamingos, you have also peed here).

Florida: where you go to sleep in a hurricane and wake up and it’s fall.

#Sanibel and #Captiva were one barrier island before great #Florida #hurricane of 1921 sliced Sanibel in two. The Oct. storm wiped out the farms that girded the economy. Survivors reinvented the islands as tourist meccas. #Ian sure to reinvent some of this lovely, fragile region.

1/ Last summer, @a24 asked me to be the editor of a FL travel book. Our 574-page love letter to the Sunshine State is finally here!

From pirates + psychics to nudists + coleslaw wrestling, there’s so much wonderful FL weirdness I can't wait to share:

Shelter officials in 15 states all reported a dramatic increase in the number of people, particularly single mothers, seeking services this year.
