…the 245th since the Founding, gang colors of cop-killing, tax-evading, white supremacist limited-government oppressors fly this day.
Over the cannon Mr Corn Pop says we don’t have.
…shall you get some sense of the men (and latterly, women) they were…
Apt on this Memorial Day, as all but one of the soldiers listed is at Fiddler’s Green.
I have used tools this day.
Ladders were climbed. Attics crawled through, parts and tools hauled up and about. There was no stroking of heat.
No feet suddenly-unexpectedly-undesireably appeared in the ceilings of rooms below.
Brackets were installed and motors mounted. Correctly the second time.
Wires were twisted, electrons coaxed to follow proper paths, safely. And the second time, with the right wire for the speed desired.
Belts were tensioned. Correctly the second time.
The fan sucks, vice blows. At the correct speed, moving the proper volume of air. On demand.
No blood was shed. Nor joints distended, or limbs mangled.
I am a tool-user.
Prolly saved $20 over hiring a pro. Maybe. [Cue Tim Allen monkey noise]

…and the wind makes it easy to dry the laundry. If you use hooks, not clothespins, anyway.
Around here, between dead legislators, first responders, and multiple tranches of covid casualties, Governor Schoolmarm has been suppressing full-staff flag flying since February.
My solution has been to not fly national flags.
Just historical flags.
Many of a Revolutionary bent, though today I am flying some flags of reactionary repression, that of the 69th NY Infantry and the HQs flag of the Army of the Potomac.
