An illustrated scene unfolds before us: pokey the pigeon is wearing a dark hoodie, a yellow vest underneath, a tie, and a blue lanyard that is blowing in the wind behind him as he cruises on a bicycle across the page from left to right. he is biking past a flamingo pink visitor center on florida bay that sits on a large parkinglot under an oak tree covered in spanish moss. a flamingo beach postal service truck with a surfboard on top sits in the parkinglot under the slow, calm, lazy florida sun. a blue sky has nothing but a distant dot, a white airplane flying off to some unknown land.

Press Release

All offices, including the Main Campus, the gift shop, the taco truck in the parking lot, the Xerox Climate Lab, and the library are closed to officers, staff, and visitors until sometime in early May depending on when Pokey the Pigeon gets back from Florida—and if he stays out of jail.
