Oh, wow.

I've had some concern about the fact that several people in our small subdivision have installed flagpoles, but so far they've only raised American flags, some of them with state flags or university flags below them. Somebody on the neighborhood Facebook page celebrated this and said that we should install an American flag at the neighborhood entrance, but that's as far as it's gone.

Just outside our neighborhood, though, there's a row of three houses that have flown several insurrection-adjacent flags, including Trump and "Let's go, Brandon."

The black flags seem a notch past those.

OTOH, I have just purchased a most excellent tool box/workbench in my quest to create a workable workspace that allows the housing of at least one car. It’s a fine navy blue. My toolbox is bright red, giving me a most pleasing patriotic color scheme for the garage. It’s my flag too and I’m going to own it!

Welcome to Ohio. There is a reason I am relieved that LL#2 has no interest in attending LL#1's university in spite of the fact that they are basically throwing large piles of money at him.

That said, I fully realize there are large swaths of PA that are exactly the same. Probably large swaths of everywhere. Sigh.

Oh that’s awful Steve.

I haven’t seen any around here yet, but I don’t deviate from my regular route much…

I am very, very worried about these signs, the 2024 election… Frowner

Have you updated us on LL#2's college search lately, Lisa?

I have a fantasy of sneaking over there and neatly painting “BLM” in large white letters on their black flag.

What does the black flag mean? Years ago it meant anarchy.

If one of my neighbors did that I'd probably fly a rainbow flag. People who are faced with the reality that their neighbors are not in solidarity with them may, at least in private, question themselves. Or at least feel weaker.

That would, of course, put a targeting reticule on your head when their revolution comes ...

This is today's America. I'm really disgusted.
